Paid Family Leave benefits typically run concurrently with any federal FMLA leave that also qualifies — PFL pays you, FMLA protects your job. Check your FMLA eligibility →
How This Works With FMLA
Federal FMLA protects your job during qualifying leave but pays nothing. Oregon Paid Leave is a separate state benefit that pays part of your wages during that same period. When a leave qualifies under both, they typically run concurrently — FMLA protects your position while OR PL replaces part of your paycheck.
