Oregon Paid Family and Medical Leave (Paid Leave Oregon)

Paid Leave Oregon provides wage replacement benefits to workers who need time off to care for a family member with a serious health condition, bond with a new child, address domestic violence or sexual assault situations (safe leave), or manage their own serious health condition. Jointly funded by employer and employee payroll contributions.

Up to 12 weeks of paid leave per benefit year for family, medical, or safe leave, with up to 2 additional weeks (14 total) for pregnancy, childbirth, or related health needs. Uses a progressive wage replacement formula: 100% of average weekly wage up to 65% of the state average weekly wage, then 50% above that, with a maximum weekly benefit of $1,636.56 for benefit years that begin before June 28, 2026 and $1,692.16 for benefit years beginning on or after June 28, 2026. Includes job protection after 90 consecutive days with the employer; if the original position no longer exists, restoration rules vary by employer size. Both employers and employees contribute through payroll premiums at a 1% total contribution rate in 2026.
