An action by an employer or employment agency that violates the provisions of the Act.
Definition
Under Oregon House Bill 2746, an 'unlawful practice' refers to any action or omission by an employer or employment agency that contravenes the requirements set forth in the Act, such as failing to disclose wage ranges in job postings, inquiring about salary history, or retaliating against an employee for exercising their rights. Such practices are subject to investigation and civil penalties by the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), ensuring accountability.
