This Law Firm Publication by Fisher & Phillips LLP discusses a new minimum wage law passed by the Oregon legislature that the Governor is expected to sign. The law provides for a series of minimum wage increases beginning on July 1, 2016, and on every July 1st for the next six years up through July 1, 2022. The law creates three separate minimum wages within the state depending on the county in which the employer operates, with the highest minimum wage applying to employers in the counties in and around Portland.
