Fisher & Phillips: Oregon Increases Minimum Wage and Relaxes Direct Deposit Laws | Practical Law

This Law Firm Publication by Fisher & Phillips LLP discusses the increase in Oregon minimum wage from $8.95 to $9.10 an hour. Employers should replace their Oregon Minimum Wage Poster with the new 2014 poster reflecting the increase. Under the new law, which became effective on January 1, 2014, employers can unilaterally convert all employees to a direct deposit system of payroll. In addition, employers cannot charge employees fees and must give an opt out option. Employers can offer ATM cards and payroll cards, but cannot unilaterally impose those payment systems.
