Q: is my employer allowed to not give me a copy of my contract if I ask for one?
A:
You may not be able to force the issue. The law on your file is ORS 652.750, and as to which records you are entitled to, they are as follows:
... the personnel records of the employee that are used or have been used to determine the employee’s qualification for employment, promotion, additional compensation, employment termination or other disciplinary action and time and pay records of the employee for the period required by the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. 211(c), and accompanying
regulations.
As you can see, it does not include the contract specifically.
