8/15/23: Paid Leave Oregon: Employee Applications Are Live!
August 15, 2023
Today, the Oregon Employment Department (“OED”) announced that employees may begin applying for Paid Leave Oregon benefits from the state trust fund in English or Spanish via Frances Online. Employees will need to sign up for a Frances Online account to apply.
Although benefits under Paid Leave Oregon do not begin until September 3, 2023, the OED is encouraging employees to submit applications early to allow enough time to process initial claims. In addition, the OED states that employees should expect a two-week wait before they start to receive benefit payments.
For guidance on how to best prepare for Paid Leave Oregon benefits to begin on September 3, see our July 31 E-Alert summarizing recent legislative amendments and offering key compliance tips.
