Portland Wrongful Termination Attorneys

Wrongful Termination Lawyer in Portland

Even though Oregon is an At-will state, in Oregon, an employer still cannot fire an employee for unlawful and illegal reasons. 

It is unlawful and illegal for an Oregon employer to fire an employee on the basis of an employee's race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, age, physical or mental disability, personal or family medical condition, work injury, marital status, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, military status, smoking or because the employee complains about employer's unsafe and illegal practices, or because employee complained about his or her wages, hours or benefits.

More importantly, an employer cannot retaliate against an employee for reporting or opposing discrimination or harassment of any type, even if it is on behalf of another employee. An employee who is unlawfully terminated or is forced to quit because the employer made it difficult to work there, can have a claim for "wrongful termination."
