Oregon Overtime Pay
Federal FLSA + state-specific daily/double-time rules.
Rules in Oregon
FLSA standard 1.5× over 40 hrs/week. Manufacturing has 10 hrs/day rule.
Overtime pay by hourly rate
| Regular rate | 1.5× (over 40h/wk) |
|---|---|
| $15.00/hr | $22.50/hr |
| $20.00/hr | $30.00/hr |
| $25.00/hr | $37.50/hr |
| $30.00/hr | $45.00/hr |
| $40.00/hr | $60.00/hr |
| $50.00/hr | $75.00/hr |
Example: 50-hour week at $25/hr in Oregon
- Regular 40h × $25 = $1000
- Overtime 10h × $37.50 (1.5×) = $375
- Total: $1375
Under FLSA-only, this same 50-hour week pays $1375. Oregon pays the same because daily-rule states still hit 40 weekly hours equally.

Common questions
- Does Oregon have daily overtime?
- No daily overtime statute in Oregon. Federal FLSA only — overtime pay (1.5×) kicks in after 40 hours in a workweek.
- Who is exempt from overtime in Oregon?
- FLSA defines exempt employees as executive, administrative, professional, computer, and outside sales workers meeting both the duties test and a minimum salary threshold ($684/week federal in 2025, ~$35,568/year). Some states set higher state thresholds (e.g., CA $1,280/wk for white-collar; NY ~$1,200/wk in NYC). Independent contractors are not covered.
- What's the 7th-day rule in Oregon?
- No 7th-day premium statute in Oregon. Federal FLSA doesn't require special pay for working consecutive days as long as total weekly hours are under 40.
- How is overtime calculated for salaried employees in Oregon?
- Salaried non-exempt employees still earn overtime. Regular rate = (weekly salary) ÷ 40 (or actual hours worked under fluctuating workweek). Overtime = 0.5× regular rate for hours over 40 (under FLSA), or 1.5× under most state systems. Salaried exempt employees do not earn overtime regardless of hours.

Not legal advice. Overtime rules apply to non-exempt employees only. Exempt status depends on duties, salary level, and state-specific tests. Check with your state labor department or an employment attorney for your situation. Methodology →
