Oregon Background Check Laws Employers Must Follow
Oregon has strict hiring and screening regulations that impact when and how background checks can be used.
- Ban-the-Box Law – Employers cannot ask about criminal history until after the initial interview
- Portland Fair Chance Ordinance – Requires waiting until a conditional offer before reviewing criminal history
- Salary History Ban – Employers cannot request salary history before a job offer
- Protected Class Restrictions – Hiring decisions cannot be based on protected characteristics like age, gender, or disability
- FCRA Compliance – Required for all third-party background checks, including disclosure and adverse action processes
Failure to follow these laws can result in fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage. That’s why working with a knowledgeable screening provider matters.
