Oregon: no statewide reporting pay rule outside Fair Workweek.
Unlike Massachusetts (3-hour minimum reporting pay), California (4-hour minimum at half regular rate), or other states, Oregon has no general reporting pay requirement. A worker who reports for a scheduled shift and is sent home early is paid for hours actually worked — not a minimum. The Fair Workweek Act's predictability pay applies only to covered employers (500+ in retail/hospitality/food service). Employer-policy reporting pay is the operational alternative.
No Reporting Pay Default
Pays for hours actually worked. No minimum reporting pay outside Fair Workweek. Surfaces employer-policy reporting pay if configured.
What those rules do when a worker is sent home early.
The hero card configuration: Flag on early send-home for policy review.
When a worker is sent home before the scheduled shift end, Teambridge surfaces the situation for employer-policy review. Hours actually worked are paid; any minimum reporting pay applies only per employer policy.

No statutory minimum — employer policy controls reporting pay.
Oregon's silence on reporting pay creates a gap that employer policy can fill. Many Oregon employers voluntarily provide reporting pay as a practical matter.
No statewide reporting pay statute
Oregon's wage and hour statutes do not include a general reporting pay rule. Workers who report for a scheduled shift and are sent home early are entitled to pay only for hours actually worked. This is structurally different from Massachusetts (3-hour minimum), California (4-hour minimum at half rate), and other reporting-pay states.
Fair Workweek predictability pay is the closest analog
For employers covered by the Fair Workweek Act (500+ employees worldwide in retail, hospitality, or food services), predictability pay applies for shifts canceled with less than 14 days notice. Half-pay for cancellations and full-pay for same-day cancellations functionally substitute for reporting pay in covered employers.
Teambridge applies employer-policy reporting pay where configured.
Most Oregon employers operate without statutory reporting pay; some voluntarily provide it. Teambridge handles either configuration.
Early shift end logged.
When a worker is sent home before the scheduled shift end, the shift end time and reason are logged.
Employer policy applied.
If the employer has a reporting pay policy configured, Teambridge applies the policy minimum and surfaces the calculation. If no policy, only hours worked are paid.
Covered employers route to predictability pay.
For Fair Workweek-covered employers, same-day cancellations and shift reductions trigger predictability pay automatically.
On-call status separately tracked.
On-call time with restrictions on personal use is tracked as compensable; unrestricted on-call time is not. The distinction follows federal FLSA precedent.
