Governor Brown's Executive Order (EO) 21-36 had originally extended the current declaration of a public health emergency through June 30, 2022. (Any OFLA leave taken by the employee within any one-year period continues to count against the amount of OFLA leave available to the employee.) Also, credit for days of employment prior to a break in service must be restored to the employee when the employee is reemployed/returned to service by the former employer within 180 days.įinally, employees may become eligible for OFLA with just 30 days of employment (rather than 180) if they have worked an average of 25 hours a week in the 30 days before taking leave during a public health emergency. In addition, you must have worked an average of 25 hours per week for 180 days - just 180 days for parental leave.ĮLIGIBILITY UPDATES: Effective January 1, 2022, OFLA eligible employees who terminate or are removed from the schedule but return to service within 180 days remain eligible for OFLA leave on their return. To be eligible, your employer must have at least 25 employees. When you come back you must be returned to your former job or a similar position if your old job no longer exists. Your employer must continue to give you the same health insurance benefits when you’re on leave as when you are working.

Bereavement leave (up to 2 weeks of leave after the death of a family member).

Military family leave (up to 14 days if your spouse or same-sex domestic partner is a service member who has been called to active duty or is on leave from active duty).

You can also take OFLA protected time if your child’s school or childcare provider is closed due to a statewide public health emergency, such as COVID-19 pandemic school closures.

Sick child leave (for your child with an illness or injury that requires home care but is not serious).

*You can take up to 12 weeks of this in addition to 12 weeks for any reason listed here.

Pregnancy disability leave (before or after birth of child or for prenatal care).

Serious health condition (your own, or to care for a spouse, parent, parent-in-law, child, grandparent or grandchild, same-sex domestic partner or parent or child of a same-sex domestic partner).

*If you use all 12 weeks on this, you can take up to 12 more weeks for sick child leave. Parental leave (either parent can take time off for the birth, adoption, or foster placement of a child).

Under OFLA, you can take up to a total of 12 weeks* of time off per year for any of these reasons. Paid family leave is coming to Oregon in 2023. Right now, family leave is protected, but often unpaid unless you have vacation, sick, or other paid leave available to use.

Sick time, but those who work for larger employers can qualify for OFLA or the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). That means you are allowed by law to take protected time off to take care of yourself or family members. If your employer has 25 or more employees, you could qualify for protected leave under the Oregon Family Leave Act.
