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.
