Paid Leave Oregon
is a state-mandated paid leave program that provides eligible employees in Oregon with paid time off to care for themselves or a family member.
The program provides a set amount of paid leave for eligible employees to use for qualifying reasons, such as their own serious health condition, the serious health condition of a family member, or the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child.
Paid Leave Oregon is funded through a payroll tax on employers and employee contributions, and is administered by the Oregon Employment Department. George Fox has opted to provide an equivalent plan that will be administered by Unum.
