Rules that Work for Workers: Paid Leave Oregon

Learn about the new paid leave rules in Oregon that benefit workers and how to make them work for you in this online event!
About this Event

In September 2023, Oregon implemented a paid family and medical leave program. Paid Leave Oregon provides 12-14 weeks of job-protected paid leave for Oregon workers who need to take time away from work for qualified family, medical, or safe leave. In this webinar conversation, we seek to understand the implications of this program for worker health, safety, and well-being. We will talk to researchers evaluating the use and effectiveness of paid family and medical leave programs for diverse groups of workers and program administrators overseeing the implementation of Paid Leave Oregon. A few questions we will explore: 1) How is the Paid Leave Oregon program working, 2) how does it compare to other programs of its type in other states, and 3) what are the documented outcomes for workers and employers?
