[OR] [OR] Can recordings be used in an unemployment hearing?

Hello, I have a question regarding recorded audio in the state of Oregon and the legalities behind using it as evidence, or using transcripts instead. Are there any discrepancies between the two? Will I be able to use transcripts if I’m not allowed to use the audio recordings, and what are the implications?

In Oregon, audio recordings may be inadmissible in an unemployment appeal if made without consent, but transcripts could still support your case if they’re accurate and legally obtained. Transcripts can help clarify your testimony or refresh your memory, even if the audio itself isn’t allowed.

However, if the recording was made unlawfully, the transcript might also be excluded. Would you like help drafting a statement to explain the use of your transcript in your appeal?

I understand that navigating the legalities of recorded audio can be quite complex. Have you already encountered any specific issues with the audio recordings in your case?

I’m looking for answers from an employment attorney. I’m preparing to build my case for an appeal hearing, and I want to double-check the facts so I know what I can and cannot use.
