Oregon company. Several employees have issue with direct manager. Have taken issue to HR, HR is asking each employee to meet 1:1:1 wtith employee, manager, HR rep. When asked by group of employees if they could meet all together, they were told by HR that it had to be 1:1 and this was Oregon law. Is this the case and if so what ORS is it?
There is no requirement that an employee meet on a one-to-one basis, but there is not a requirement for the employer to meet with the whole grouped either. If a union is involved discuss the matter with a union representative. If this is "At Will" employment the employer is not required to meet with the employees as a group.Thank you Please click on the ACCEPT button for my answer so that I receive credit for assisting you.

Understood. To clarify further, there is no ruling or statute that says that the manger CANNOT meet with a group of employees in an HR related dispute if all parties agree to meet, correct?

There is nothing preventing an employer from meeting with multiple employees, unless confidential issues will be discussed.
