The rules in detail
- 1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek
- 1.5× after 10 hours in a day for manufacturing and cannery workers
Oregon requires 1.5× after 40 hours a week — and factories and canneries must pay daily overtime after 10 hours.
Enforcement: Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI).
Worked example
A Portland food-processing plant worker on two 12-hour shifts earns 2 daily overtime hours per shift on top of any weekly overtime.
What Oregon employers sometimes get wrong
The 10-hour daily rule dates to 1913 and still applies to manufacturing employees; most other Oregon workers have only the weekly trigger.
Who is entitled to overtime
Overtime rules protect “non-exempt” employees. The main federal exemptions cover executives, administrators, professionals, outside salespeople and certain computer employees — provided their duties genuinely match the exemption and they clear the salary basis test. Job titles mean nothing: an “assistant manager” who mostly runs a register is still non-exempt in the eyes of the law.
In practice, most hourly workers in Oregon are non-exempt and must receive overtime whenever the rules above trigger. Independent contractors are not covered — but misclassifying an employee as a contractor is one of the most common wage violations.
How to file an overtime claim in Oregon
Check your pay stubs and hours against the calculator above first. If you believe you were shorted, you can file a wage claim with Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) or a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (dol.gov/agencies/whd). The FLSA lets you recover unpaid overtime going back two years (three for willful violations), often doubled as liquidated damages.

Questions people ask
What are the overtime laws in Oregon?

How is overtime calculated in Oregon?
Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 for every overtime hour. Oregon applies triggers beyond the plain federal 40-hour week — the calculator above splits your hours into straight time, 1.5× and 2× automatically.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Sometimes. A salary alone does not remove overtime rights — the employee must also perform exempt duties and (for the federal white-collar exemptions) clear the salary threshold. If the exemption tests fail, the employee is owed overtime regardless of pay format.
Does Oregon require overtime on weekends or holidays?
Federal FLSA rules do not require premium pay for weekends or holidays unless total weekly hours exceed the overtime threshold. Oregon's daily rules can add premium pay on long days regardless of the day of week.
