Which of the following would not be covered by Oregon's wage and hour laws?

Payment schedules
Overtime pay
Construction safety
Minimum wage requirements

The correct answer is: Construction safety

Oregon's wage and hour laws specifically address matters directly related to employee compensation and working hours, which include payment schedules, overtime pay, and minimum wage requirements. These components are crucial for protecting workers' rights regarding how and when they are paid for their labor, ensuring they receive fair compensation for their work hours. Conversely, construction safety falls outside the scope of wage and hour laws. While safety regulations are critical in the construction industry, they are governed by separate laws and agency regulations, such as those enforced by the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This distinction makes it clear that while wage and hour laws focus on pay-related issues, construction safety addresses workplace conditions and practices to protect employees from hazards, which is not part of the wage and hour framework.
