Oregon weekly overtime: 1.5× past 40 hours.

Oregon overtime runs primarily on the federal Fair Labor Standards Act: 1.5× regular rate for hours past 40 in a fixed workweek. There's no general state daily overtime trigger like California's 8-hour rule. However, manufacturing establishments have a state-specific 10-hour daily overtime trigger under ORS 652.020 — a niche but enforced rule.

Block · on hours past 40 without OT premium

When a workweek totals more than 40 hours and the OT premium has not been applied, the timesheet save fails. Regular rate calculation includes bonuses and shift differentials per FLSA Part 778.

Flag · on manufacturing daily 10-hr threshold

When a worker in a manufacturing establishment exceeds 10 hours in a single workday, Teambridge surfaces the state-specific daily overtime requirement under ORS 652.020. This stacks with weekly OT.

The rule, plainly stated

FLSA at the wage layer — manufacturing has its own daily rule.

Oregon's overtime regime is FLSA-anchored for most industries: 1.5× past 40 hours per fixed workweek. Manufacturing carries an additional state-specific daily OT rule that applies regardless of FLSA computation.

ORS 653.261 — Oregon Overtime: An employer shall pay each employee compensation for employment in excess of 40 hours in a workweek at a rate not less than 1½ times the regular rate at which the employee is employed.

Standard FLSA computation

Oregon overtime mirrors the federal FLSA: 1.5× regular rate for hours past 40 in a fixed workweek. The workweek is any consistent 168-hour (7-day) period, established by the employer and not changed to evade overtime obligations. Regular rate includes nondiscretionary bonuses, shift differentials, and most other compensation per 29 CFR Part 778.

No state daily overtime in most industries

Unlike California (8-hour daily trigger), Colorado (12-hour trigger under COMPS Order #40), or Alaska, Oregon does not impose a general daily overtime requirement. A worker can work a 12-hour day at straight time as long as the workweek total stays under 40 hours.

On autopilot

Teambridge runs FLSA OT calculations and surfaces the manufacturing rule separately.

Most Oregon workers are subject only to the FLSA computation. Manufacturing operators get the additional daily-OT trigger automatically.

01 · Workweek hour totaling

Hours summed across shift days.

Each fixed workweek's hours are summed across shift days. Hours past 40 trigger the OT premium.

02 · Regular rate calculation

Bonuses + differentials in rate.

Regular rate is calculated per FLSA Part 778: hourly base + nondiscretionary bonuses + shift differentials, divided by hours worked. The OT premium is 1.5× this regular rate.

03 · Manufacturing daily trigger

10+ hour shifts in mfg → daily OT.

Workers in manufacturing roles are tracked against the daily 10-hour ORS 652.020 trigger. A 12-hour shift in manufacturing → 2 hours of daily OT, stacked with any weekly OT.

04 · Exempt classification audit

Classification reviewed at hire and annually.

Exempt classification is captured at hire and reviewed annually against FLSA salary basis and duties tests. Failed reviews → reclassification with retroactive OT recovery.

FAQ

People also ask.

What is Oregon's overtime rule?
1.5× regular rate for hours past 40 in a fixed workweek under FLSA and ORS 653.261. Regular rate includes bonuses and shift differentials per FLSA Part 778. There is no general state daily overtime trigger except for manufacturing (10-hour daily rule under ORS 652.020).
Does Oregon have daily overtime like California?
Generally, no. Oregon does not impose a general daily overtime requirement — a 12-hour day at straight time is permitted as long as the workweek total stays under 40 hours. The exception is manufacturing establishments, which have a 10-hour daily OT trigger under ORS 652.020.
How is the regular rate calculated?
Hourly base + nondiscretionary bonuses + shift differentials + most other compensation, divided by hours worked. The OT premium is 1.5× this regular rate. Discretionary bonuses (true year-end bonuses), gifts, and certain expense reimbursements are excluded per 29 CFR Part 778.
Are salaried workers exempt from overtime?
Only if they meet the FLSA white-collar exemption tests: salary basis ($684/week federal), duties test (executive, administrative, professional, computer, or outside sales), and minimum salary level. Salary alone is not enough — the duties test is the harder bar.
What's the manufacturing daily overtime rule?
ORS 652.020 imposes a 10-hour daily limit and 1.5× overtime past 10 hours per day for manufacturing establishments. This is industry-specific and stacks with weekly OT. A 12-hour shift in a manufacturing facility = 2 hours of daily OT plus any applicable weekly OT.
