Records

I am submitting a public records request for records sufficient to demonstrate how the University of Oregon satisfies the statutory notice requirement under ORS 659A.279 for the safety-related leave protections set out in ORS 659A.270–659A.285.
To be clear, this request concerns the employer-administered statutory protection itself, which exists independently of the Paid Leave Oregon wage-replacement program and applies regardless of whether leave is paid or unpaid, including public-employer obligations such as the 160-hour leave bank.
Please provide records showing the following:
1. Notice content and location
• The specific notice(s), webpage(s), posting(s), or written materials the University relies on to “summarize the provisions” of ORS 659A.270–659A.285, as required by ORS 659A.279;
• Where those notices are posted or maintained, including physical locations and URLs;
• The date each notice or posting went into effect and any revisions made since 2019.
2. Procedures available to employees
• Any written procedures, guidance, or internal instructions explaining how an employee invokes the statutory protection with the University;
• Identification of the office(s) responsible for administering the protection;
• Policies or guidance explaining how the protection functions when Paid Leave Oregon benefits are unavailable, exhausted, or not applicable;
• Any materials intended to allow employees to plan around the protection, including timing, documentation, duration, and job-protection effects.
3. Transition and change records (2019–2026)
• Records documenting the transition from earlier certification forms and processes in use in or around 2019 to later versions used in 2026;
• Any drafts, approvals, internal communications, or decision-making records associated with revising or replacing those forms or procedures;
• Records reflecting how the University evaluated whether revised forms, postings, or procedures continued to comply with ORS 659A.279 following the implementation of Paid Leave Oregon;
• Any records addressing how employees were notified of changes in forms, routing, or administration.
• Any written policies, procedures, workflows, routing instructions, or standard operating procedures used by Human Resources, HR Leaves, or other offices when an employee requests safety-related leave and Paid Leave Oregon benefits are unavailable or exhausted, including records addressing whether and how the employee is routed to University-administered unpaid leave or the 160-hour public-employer leave bank.
