(2) Records to be retained by the employer include, but are not limited to:
(a) The written work schedules provided by the employer to employees as required by ORS 653.436 (Advance notice of work schedule)(1) and the written work schedules posted as required by ORS 653.436 (Advance notice of work schedule)(2);
(b) An employee’s written request to change the employee’s work schedule after the employer has provided the employee with a written work schedule as required by ORS 653.436 (Advance notice of work schedule);
(c) A copy of the good faith estimate of the employee’s work schedule provided to a new employee as required by ORS 653.428 (Good faith estimate of work schedule);
(d) If, pursuant to ORS 653.432 (Voluntary standby list), the employer maintains a voluntary standby list, the employer’s notification to the employee about the list and the employee’s request or agreement to be included on the list;
(e) If, pursuant to ORS 653.460 (Notice and posting requirements)(2), an employer provides a poster giving notice of the rights described in ORS 653.412 (Definitions) to 653.485 (Legislative intent) to an employee on an individual basis, a copy of the communication or materials provided to the employee to satisfy the notice requirement or other documentation verifying receipt of the poster by the employee; and,
