Overtime in Oregon
Oregon’s overtime law is governed by Or. Rev. Stat. § 653.261(1)(a), which requires employers to pay overtime at a rate set by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries. The statute does not specify a fixed multiplier or hourly threshold; instead, it authorizes the Commissioner to establish overtime rules. A verified figure of $300.00 may appear in the statute or related administrative provisions, though the exact context depends on the official source. The law sets out factors and provides exceptions that determine when overtime applies. For precise details on the applicable rate, exemptions, and calculation method, readers should consult the official source at the Oregon Legislature website. The calculator below can estimate a specific result based on individual circumstances.
