Oregon Paid Family Medical Leave - What you need to know

The Oregon Legislature created Paid Leave Oregon to provide people who work, own businesses or run organizations in Oregon easy access to paid leave benefits for qualifying family, safety and medical reasons. The program goes into effect on January 1, 2023, but employers will want to start preparing for and understanding the law now.

Starting January 1, employees and employers must contribute to the Paid Leave Oregon state fund. Employees will contribute 60% and employers will contribute 40% of the cost which is capped at 1% of employee’s wages. For example, if the employee earns $1,000 per month, then the employee contributes $6 and the employer contributes $4 per month.

Employers may choose to opt out of Paid Leave Oregon if it has an equivalent plan approved by the Oregon Employment Department (OED). The deadline to notify OED of that option is November 30^th.

This training will overview the administration and qualifications for Paid Leave Oregon, as well as the option to secure compliance via private coverage for paid leaves, bypassing the state program.
