Protecciones en el lugar de trabajo

Denying leave to an eligible employee is an “unlawful employment practice” in Oregon.¹ You can learn more about  domestic violence protections for workers on the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries website.

However, your employer can limit the amount of leave you take if it creates an “undue hardship” for the business. An “undue hardship” is a significant difficulty and expense to a covered employer’s business. To determine whether or not there is an undue hardship, a judge will consider both:

• the size of the employer’s business; and
• how much the business needs you.²
