Oregon Paid Leave
State Plan Details
Paid Leave Oregon is a new 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 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.

Oregon Equivalent Plans
What is an Equivalent Plan?
An equivalent plan is a plan that:
- Has the same or more benefits than Paid Leave Oregon
- Covers all employees
- Can't deduct more from employees’ contributions than Paid Leave Oregon
- Is approved by the Oregon Employment Department
