Oregon Overtime Rules for Employers of Record
The DOL lists a 40-hour week, plus daily overtime in specified plants.
The rule
The DOL state page says Oregon overtime is premium pay after 40 hours in a workweek, and also after 10 hours in a day in nonfarm canneries, driers, or packing plants, and in mills, factories, or manufacturing establishments, excluding sawmills, planning mills, shingle mills, and logging camps. The same page lists three minimum wages: $15.55 standard, $16.80 in the Portland metro area, and $14.55 in nonurban counties. Those rates are adjusted on July 1.
What employers must do
Use the worksite's wage tier. Pay weekly overtime after 40 hours. Add the daily rule only if the work falls in the plants the DOL lists. This review did not open a separate Oregon page for a 2027 rate. The DOL table revised November 5, 2026 still shows the three rates above.
Effective dates
The three rates are the ones in effect on the DOL table. The page says the adjustment date is July 1. A January 1, 2027 change was not listed.
What this means for BOSS partners and associates
BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require.
