A:
Not having an end time on your schedule can be an issue, especially if it leads to uncertainty about your work hours or potential unpaid time. In Oregon, hourly workers must be paid for all hours worked, and if you're unsure when your shift ends, it could create problems with tracking your pay. If your employer is expecting you to work beyond reasonable hours without clear communication, that could be a violation of labor laws.
Being told that your boss won’t ask you anything because of your race is discrimination, which is illegal under federal and state laws. Oregon has strong protections against workplace discrimination, and comments like that from your supervisor could create a hostile work environment. You have the right to report this to HR or file a complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
If you’re uncomfortable addressing these issues alone, you can document your hours and any concerning statements made at work. Keeping a record will help if you decide to take action. You deserve a fair and respectful workplace, and there are laws in place to protect you.
