"Paid Leave Oregon is a program that ensures individuals, employers, and families of every kind have the time and support they need to care for themselves and their loved ones when they need it most."
Employees who currently work in Oregon and who made at least $1,000 in Oregon in their base year before they apply for Paid Leave may be eligible for benefits.
Federal government employees aren’t eligible for Paid Leave benefits.
Employees can take up to 12 weeks paid leave in a 52-week period (starting the Sunday before the date their leave begins) for family, medical, or safe leave. If pregnant, in some situations, an employee may be able to take up to 2 more weeks for a total of 14 weeks.
Employees can choose when and how to take the time off, as long as they take entire days or weeks.
Paid Leave pays employees a percentage of their wages while they’re on leave.
Paid leave protects an employee’s job and role if they’ve worked for the same employer for at least 90 consecutive days.
