Sadly your employer is likely in the right here. Oregon just recently passed a law requiring what you have indicated. Senate Bill 906. It goes into effect January 1, 2026. However, before that point in time, employers are not legally required to spell out anything about your employment to you at any given point so long as they fulfill the requirements to give you a timely W-2 when tax time rolls around.

As for the $1232, that is quite the amount and I would not see that as reasonable. However, it really depends on if you want to call their bluff on attorney advisement. The letter looks like something they blew out their own printer, but doctors are petty as fuck and will drag your ass into court over six pennies, or at least in the time I've ever known them.

However, take none of this as legal advice. More like a suggestion and you should absolutely look at whatever your local laws are. Oregon JUST got on the bus about requiring employers to provide exactly the documentation you are requesting. I know, but some States still don't have a legal requirement to provide paystubs. And Federal law absolutely doesn't require that, they only require the whole "things you need to fill out your taxes". In many of the States that don't require it, if your employer does hand it off to you, it puts a ton of responsibility on it being correct on the employer. So some will literally go to a CPA for this one off, which is a much higher rate than a regular book keeper.

But yeah, your Government just recently addressed this, but it doesn't go into effect until next year. So sadly that new law does not help you here. However, you should absolutely speak with your department of labor to see if there are avenues you can take.
