More Pay Protections for Companionship Workers

Oregon wage and domestic-worker protections cover companionship workers employed by home-care or companionship businesses, alone or jointly with another employer. Covered services help people unable to care for themselves because of age or infirmity and follow the federal definition as of January 1, 2016. Workers get 1.5 times their base pay after 40 hours weekly, or 44 hours for live-in workers. They get 24 consecutive hours of weekly rest, with overtime pay for agreed work during that rest; live-in workers also get eight consecutive hours of daily rest and permission to cook their own food. Workers averaging at least 30 hours weekly in the prior year get at least three paid personal leave days, and employers cannot keep passports, engage in prohibited harassment or discrimination, or retaliate over questions or reports about violations.
