Existing instructions to review Confirm how employment ended : Discharge, quitting and mutual separation have different final-pay conditions.Preserve pay and separation evidence : Keep time/pay records, notice, communications, amounts claimed and payment history.Choose BOLI intake or obtain civil-route advice : Use official wage-claim instructions; retain receipt and ask for an accepted fallback if intake fails.Review separate remedies and follow-up : Penalty wages require conditions and can be capped; keep acknowledgement and meet evidence requests.Additional instruction 1 : Preserve hours/time records, rate and pay agreements, wage statements, separation and notice dates, schedules, communications, written demand and payment records. Keep originals and copies.Additional instruction 2 : Start with BOLI’s official wage-claim page and intake instructions. If its portal is unavailable, retain the error and contact BOLI through the official page to confirm another accepted intake method; an outage does not extend a legal deadline. A printed/saved complaint does not establish filing.Additional instruction 3 : BOLI administrative intake and a civil wage action are separate routes with different coverage, remedies, limitations and costs. Ask about the appropriate process; do not submit an unrelated discrimination or disability form as a wage claim.Additional instruction 4 : ORS 652.150 addresses willful failure to pay qualifying final wages: the regular hourly rate for 8 hours per day, generally until payment or commencement of an action and capped at 30 days. Written-notice/cure rules, statutory caps, coverage and defenses can change recovery. This is not an automatic award or a computation of entitlement. Agency civil penalties are a separate question.Additional instruction 5 : Keep the agency acknowledgement and respond to evidence requests; record any payment or settlement and review releases before signing. Ask for legal review if a civil claim or limitations issue may be involved.BOLI - Wage Claim
