Compliance reported on how Oregon removed some of the redundancy that was within several paid leave laws already established in Oregon back in March.
Employees will still have the option to use available paid time off available through their employer, such as PTO or vacation to cover them Oregon Family Leave Act leave or Paid Leave Oregon “leaves”. Employers will be able to cap the use of these benefits with an employee is on PLO leave, so the combined payment to the employee while on leave equals 100% wage replacement. As it stands right now (before July 1, 2024, employees are able to exceed 100% wage replacement.
It is expected that Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries will issue regulations to clarify the new law and employers should be cognizant of any additional guidance.
The Compliance Department will report any new changes as they become available.
