What are my rights?

pension rights while  on leave and your 
employer must keep giving you the same 
health benefits as when you are working.

share with your employer is confidential  
and can only be released with your 
permission, unless the release is required 
by law.  
What if I have questions about my 
rights?

discriminate or retaliate against you

paid leave benefits. If your employer is 
not following the law, you have the right 
to bring a civil suit in court or to file a 
complaint with the Oregon Bureau of
