    What is Paid Leave Oregon?

    A state program that ensures workers have the financial stability to care for themselves and their loved ones during important life events, providing a percentage of regular wages up to a weekly cap.

    Family Leave

    Care for a family member with a serious illness or bond with a new child after birth, adoption, or foster care placement.

    Medical Leave

    Take time off to care for your own serious health condition, including pregnancy-related health issues.

    Safe Leave

    Seek help or recover if you or your dependent child experience sexual assault, domestic violence, harassment, or stalking.

    The 6-Step Formula Calculator

    Paid Leave Oregon determines your weekly benefit amount using a specific 6-step formula based on the state average weekly wage and your average weekly earnings. If your average weekly wage is 65% or less of the Oregon State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW), you are covered at 100% of your wages. You can find the official breakdown of this formula on page 17 of the Paid Leave Oregon Employee Guidebook.
