New rules for Oregon paid leave

The law designates Oregon’s paid family and medical leave fund as a trust fund, separate from the General Fund. Contributions, penalties, fees, other receipts and earned interest stay in the fund. The Employment Department director has ongoing spending authority solely for program purposes, including administration and the director’s legally authorized pay. The director can set accounting rules for contributions and benefits to meet tax reporting and withholding requirements. Rules can divide benefit funding by leave type and limit each type to employee contributions, employer contributions, or both. This power does not expand existing authority to change the employer and employee shares of the total contribution rate. The law takes effect on the 91st day after Oregon’s 2026 regular legislative session adjourns for the year.
