Paid Leave Oregon is a statewide program that provides paid time off for eligible individuals who need time away from work for family, medical or safety‑related reasons. Students who are working may qualify for benefits through this program.
Paid Leave Oregon is administered by the State of Oregon and is separate from employer‑provided leave. Eligibility and benefit amounts are based on employment history and income.
