Oregon Clarifies the Administration of Paid Leave Benefits
Effective January 1, 2023, Oregon provides employees with compensation time off from work to care for and bond with a child following the child’s birth or adoption, to recover from a serious health condition or care for a family member’s serious health condition, or to take leave if the employee or the employee’s family member has experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or harassment. This applies to employers with at least 1 employee in the State of Oregon. Employers are required to withhold an Oregon employee's Paid Sick Leave Oregon contributions from their paychecks. Employees have job protection rights under the Paid Leave Oregon regardless the size of their employer, however employers who employ 25 or more worldwide must contribute to the Paid Leave Oregon Fund. The Notice Poster should be made available to Oregon employees. Source: Ogletree Deakins reported on January 30, 2024.
