Check unpaid work time and overtime: next steps

Guidance reviewed 2026-10-11. Review compensable hours and overtime rules before submitting unpaid earnings for review.

Start here: Read the hours-worked guidance and identify work that may have been omitted from time records.

Where and how to proceed: full steps and checklist

1. Is this for me?

Workers with potentially unpaid Oregon work or overtime. Exempt status and special industry rules require separate review.

Service area: Oregon or applicable federal route; confirm venue and agency jurisdiction.

2. What should I prepare?

Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.

3. Where and how do I submit?

Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.

Timing: Act promptly and ask BOLI or a lawyer which filing period applies to your claim. Wage, retaliation, discrimination, federal and court deadlines are not interchangeable. Check current intake and investigation limitations.
