Why Oregon's Paid Leave Is One of the Most Generous in the Country
100% wage replacement for lower earners
Oregon Paid Leave replaces 100% of your wages up to 65% of the state average weekly wage, plus 50% of wages above that. If you earn below the threshold, every dollar is replaced. Maximum benefit: $1,636.56/week — second only to California in the entire country.
Up to 14 weeks for pregnancy
Standard Paid Leave provides 12 weeks per year. If you experience pregnancy-related complications, you qualify for 2 additional weeks (14 total). Use it for your own medical condition, family care, bonding, or safe leave (domestic violence, harassment, stalking).
Small employer? You're still covered
Oregon Paid Leave covers all workers regardless of employer size. Employers with fewer than 25 employees are exempt from paying the employer share of contributions, but their workers still qualify for benefits. Funded through a shared 1% payroll contribution (60% employee, 40% employer).

Federal FMLA: 50+ employees, 12 months, 1,250 hours
Standard federal FMLA requires your employer to have 50+ employees within 75 miles, 12+ months tenure, and 1,250+ hours worked in the past year.

Oregon Paid Leave: Earnings-based
If you've earned $1,000+ in wages during the base year and made contributions to the program, you likely qualify. No employer size minimum for worker eligibility. No long tenure requirement.

FMLA + Paid Leave run concurrently
If you qualify for both, FMLA protects your job while Paid Leave pays your wages. They run at the same time. You get both protections during the same leave period.

Self-employed: Voluntary opt-in available
Freelancers and independent contractors can opt into Oregon Paid Leave. Given the 100% replacement rate for lower earners and the $1,636.56/week maximum, Oregon's program is one of the most valuable opt-in options available to self-employed workers.
How Trust Medical Ensures Your Forms Are Oregon-Compliant
Oregon Paid Leave claims go through the Oregon Employment Department, while FMLA certification goes to your employer. Each requires separate documentation and follows different processes.
Our Oregon-licensed physicians complete your FMLA certification and provide the medical documentation needed for your Paid Leave application. We know exactly what the Employment Department requires and how to document your condition so your claim is processed without delays.
In most cases, your employer cannot require you to use PTO while you're receiving Paid Leave benefits. We help you understand your rights under both federal and Oregon state law.

Oregon Leave Laws & Your Rights Explained
Oregon Paid Leave replaces 100% of wages up to 65% of the state average weekly wage, plus 50% above that. Workers earning below the median get full wage replacement. Maximum: $1,636.56/week in 2026 — second-highest in the country behind California.
Standard leave: 12 weeks. Pregnancy complications: +2 weeks (14 total). Covers your own medical condition, family care, bonding, and safe leave for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, or stalking.
Every Oregon worker who meets the earnings threshold qualifies for Paid Leave benefits — even if your employer has just 1 employee. Employers with fewer than 25 workers are exempt from the employer contribution share, but their employees still receive full benefits.
Oregon Paid Leave is funded through a 1% payroll contribution split 60/40 between employees and employers. For employers with fewer than 25 employees, the full 1% comes from employee contributions. You're paying into this benefit — make sure you use it when you need it.
Oregon is one of the few states that includes “safe leave” in its paid leave program. If you or a family member is dealing with domestic violence, harassment, sexual assault, or stalking, you may qualify for up to 12 weeks of paid leave to address safety needs.
