Oregon overtime rules

• Most jobs: 1.5× for hours over 40 in a workweek. Asked whether there's daily overtime, the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) answers "In most cases, no."
• Mills, factories and manufacturing (ORS 652.020): 1.5× for hours over 10 in a day or 40 in a week. Your employer works out both and pays "the greater of the two amounts", not both.
• Canneries, driers and packing plants (ORS 653.265) follow the same 10-hour rule, and so do seafood processors (ORS 653.263).

Limits on hours in manufacturing

• No more than 10 hours a day and 55 hours a week, or 60 if you ask or agree in writing.
• Up to 3 hours past the daily limit, paid at time and a half: 13 hours at most in a day.
• At least 10 hours off between shifts when the earlier shift was 8 hours or more.
• These limits cover workers directly processing goods, not office staff. A union contract can set its own limits.

Farm workers

Agricultural workers get overtime after 48 hours a week in 2025 and 2026, and after 40 hours from 2027 (ORS 653.272). Federal law has no farm overtime at all.

Example

At $21 an hour in a mill, three 13-hour days are 39 hours. Each day has 3 hours over 10, so 9 hours are overtime: 30 × $21 = $630 regular, plus 9 × $31.50 = $283.50, for $913.50. Under the 40-hour rule alone the same week pays $819.

Questions

I work four 10-hour shifts. Is any of it overtime?

No. Exactly 10 hours a day isn't over 10, and 40 hours isn't over 40. In a mill, factory or cannery, an 11th hour in a day would be overtime even if the week stayed under 40.

How many hours a day can I work in an Oregon mill?

Up to 13: the 10-hour limit plus up to 3 more hours at time and a half. BOLI: "Manufacturing employees are limited to 13 hours of work in a 24-hour period."

Is overtime tax-free in Oregon?

For federal income tax, from 2025 through 2028 you can deduct the extra half of time and a half, up to $12,500 a year ($25,000 on a joint return). Overtime is still taxed and withheld on your paycheck, and Social Security and Medicare still apply; the deduction comes off when you file. State income tax rules are separate.
