SALEM — The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries sent out a reminder Friday that amid business closures and layoffs, employees are still owed their wages.

“If you are laid off, you must receive all of the wages you have earned by your next regularly scheduled payday after layoff,” the bureau said in a statement. “If your employer has a policy of paying out vacation time, you must receive it in full at that time as well.”

BOLI said employees who believe they have not been paid in full should keep documents, such as pay stubs and work schedules, and can make a claim online or email whdscreener@boli.state.or.us.

“I want to be clear: this is not a moment for employers to take advantage of workers or violate civil rights,” Labor Commissioner Val Hoyle said in a statement. “Using a crisis to harm employees is unacceptable and I will use the full weight of my office to prevent and remedy those efforts.”

Workers can get up to $10,000 back in unpaid wages, BOLI said.
