Whether you work at a manufacturing establishment or packing plant, Oregon is one of the states with its own overtime laws, while also following the federal law under the Fair Labor Standards Act<\/a> (FLSA). Oregon labor laws generally defines overtime requirements as all hours an employee works in excess of 40 hours in one week. To avoid undue hardship, employers must pay employees overtime wages for this time in the amount of 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay. Oregon overtime laws also make employers pay their employees overtime wages on a daily basis.<\/p>\r\n
