Paid Leave Oregon (PLO)

Update (06/02/26, Effective 06/28/26): The Oregon Employment Department has released the new maximum weekly benefit amount for Paid Leave for 2026-2027. Beginning on June 28, 2026, the maximum weekly benefit amount will increase from $1,636.56 to $1,692.16. Any claims that begin prior to June 28, 2026 will be subject to the previous year’s benefit rate.

Additionally, PLO recently released the mandatory model notice for the 2026 year, so be sure to update your notice if you haven’t already. You can find instructions on how you are required to share the notice with your employees and the link to the notice in our “Notice Requirements” section below.

The PLO model notice must be displayed in the workplace (and provided via email or mail to Oregon employees who work remotely). Thereafter, it must be provided to new hires and those assigned to work remotely in Oregon, who were not already informed of the law at the time of hire (such as employees who relocate from another state to work remotely in Oregon).

Please ensure as a company you are offsetting any salary continuation/company top-up pay aligned with the updated weekly benefit rate maximum, effective 06/28/26.*

*Claims that begin on or after June 28, 2026 are eligible for the new maximum benefit rate.
