Portland Restaurant Workers Association

A crime victim, an individual who “has suffered financial, social, psychological or physical harm as a result of a personal felony,” is eligible for protected leave from work to attend criminal proceedings. This Oregon law treats immediate family members of the person as crime victims as well and defines “immediate family” to include a spouse, domestic partner, father, mother, sibling, child, stepchild or grandparent. A worker is required to provide reasonable notice and documentation of upcoming legal proceeding to her employer before taking leave.
