An employer-employee relationship starts with employment policies and procedures that are clear, accessible and well-publicized. At the same time, changes in employment law can create uncertainty and add complexity to this vital relationship. Thus, all employment policies should strive to be flexible yet compliant, adaptable and practical. A well-written employee handbook that adapts to the ever-changing employment laws can assist in achieving all of that.

In creating and updating this edition, we endeavored to create a user-friendly guide that considered these principles. We also considered and implemented significant legal requirements and practical employee relations issues every Oregon employer should consider before implementing, updating or deleting any personnel policy. We hope you will agree that Oregon employers deserve a reference guide like Model Policies and Forms for Oregon Employers that appreciates the unique nature and scope of Oregon’s employment laws and is not a one-size-fits-all (or out-of-state) employee handbook reference guide.  We also hope that by using both the sample policies and legal concepts provided, you will emerge with a complete understanding of the complexities of the employment relationship in Oregon.
