Is an Expanded Paid Leave Program Coming to Oregon?

Date: April 03, 2019

House Bill 3031 would apply to any employee who has worked more than 90 days, regardless of business size.

Oregon lawmakers are considering a statewide paid family and medical leave insurance fund, reports KLCC.

If passed, House Bill 3031 would grant employees up to 32 weeks of paid leave in a single year. This would include 12 weeks of paid leave to care for family or themselves, 14 weeks to care for a new baby, and six weeks for pregnancy or childbirth-related reasons.

The bill applies to all Oregon businesses, regardless of size, and would be applicable to employees who have worked for more than 90 days.

In 2018, the Washington Legislature passed a Paid Family and Medical law which allows workers to take 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a family member or themselves, a new child, or certain military-related events.
