Generally. In Oregon, employees working overtime must be paid at a rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay after 40 hours have been worked in one week.
Canneries, driers and packing plants. Time and one-half is also due after 10 hours of work in a day for persons employed in canneries, driers or packing plants, except plants located on farms and primarily processing products produced on those farms and for piece workers.
Nurses. Effective January 1, 2006, when a hospital in Oregon learns of a need for replacement staff, the hospital is to make every available effort to obtain registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, or certified nursing assistants for unfilled hours or shifts before requiring overtime. A registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or certified nursing assistant can not be required to work beyond the agreed upon shift, or more than 48 hours in any hospital defined workweek, or more than 12 consecutive hours in a 24-hour time period except that hospitals may require additional hours over twelve in certain situations.
Employees who are exempt from state minimum wage requirements are also exempt from overtime requirements.
