What to Expect

Join TRPDX for our annual Legislative Update, a deep dive into the policy changes shaping Total Rewards strategy across Oregon and Washington. This year’s program focuses on the evolving regulatory landscape around wage floors, exemption thresholds, and the growing complexity of managing compensation programs across state lines.

As federal rules shift and state-level legislation continues to expand, Total Rewards professionals must navigate a rapidly changing compliance environment while maintaining competitive and equitable pay structures.
