Easily manage employment in Oregon

In Oregon, there is no state or federal law that requires employers to provide paid or unpaid vacation leave to their employees, although most organizations do.

Under state law, companies with 10 or more employees must provide one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. Companies with fewer than 10 employees must provide one hour of unpaid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. Note that for serious health conditions, some employees may be eligible for up to 12 weeks’ paid sick leave. Can an employer deny sick time in Oregon? Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible employees are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid sick leave per year, provided they: - Have worked for the same employer for at least 12 months - Work in a location where at least 50 people are employed by the company within a 75-mile radius

Employees are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid maternity or paternity leave under the FMLA. Under state law, some employees may also be eligible for up to 12 weeks’ paid family leave.

Under state law, employees are entitled to up to two weeks’ unpaid bereavement leave (provided the company has at least 25 employees).

Employees must report for jury duty if summoned (unless exempt). Jurors are typically “on call” for two weeks. Do employers have to pay for jury duty in Oregon? No. Private sector employers are not required to pay employees on jury service, but they must provide unpaid leave, and cannot penalize or terminate an employee on jury duty. Some employers provide paid leave.

Under state and federal law, employers must grant unpaid leave to employees who are members of the military or the National Guard for military duty or training. These employees have the right to take time off for their military obligations, and employers are prohibited from discriminating against them based on their military service. Under state law, military spouses are also entitled to 14 days’ unpaid leave if their spouse or same-sex partner is called up to active service.
