Oregon keeps it weekly for most workers: 1.5x after 40 hours, no daily overtime. But manufacturing workers earn daily overtime after 10 hours. Enter your hours day by day, check the manufacturing box if it applies, and see the $15.55 standard minimum wage in 2026.

ORS 653.261 weekly rules, plus ORS 653.265 daily rules for manufacturing. Hours are never counted twice (no pyramiding).
Manufacturing establishments, mills, factories, canneries, driers and packing plants: daily overtime after 10 hours applies on top of the weekly 40. Everyone else uses the weekly rule only.
Estimates only. Not tax, legal, or payroll advice. Confirm with your employer or a qualified professional.
ORS 653.261 requires 1.5 times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Oregon has no general daily overtime rule, unlike California or Alaska.
ORS 653.265 gives workers in mills, factories and manufacturing establishments, plus canneries, driers and packing plants, daily overtime at 1.5x after 10 hours in a day. The employer calculates daily and weekly overtime and pays the greater amount.
Oregon adjusts three regional rates every July 1. From July 1, 2026: $16.80 inside the Portland metro urban growth boundary, $15.55 standard, and $14.55 in non urban counties. Oregon bans tip credits.
Most workers: overtime hours = hours over 40 in the week. Manufacturing: overtime hours = hours over 10 in a day + straight time hours over 40 in the week, greater amount wins. Gross = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × 1.5)
| Rule | Oregon |
|---|---|
| Overtime rule | 1.5 times pay after 40 hours a week; manufacturing daily 1.5x after 10 hours in a day |
| Minimum wage 2026 | $15.55 standard, $16.80 Portland metro, $14.55 non urban, from July 1, 2026; no tip credit |
| State income tax | Graduated, 4.75% to 9.9% |
| Claim agency | Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, Wage and Hour Division |
| Claim deadline | 2 years for overtime claims; 6 years for other wage claims |
| Worker | Math | Gross |
|---|---|---|
| $20/hr manufacturing, four 11 hour days (44 hrs) | 40 × $20 + 4 × $30 | $920.00 |
| $20/hr standard, three 11 hour days (33 hrs) | 33 × $20, no overtime | $660.00 |
| $16.80/hr Portland metro, 40 hours | 40 × $16.80, no overtime | $672.00 |
| $25/hr manufacturing, five 12 hour days (60 hrs) | 40 × $25 + 20 × $37.50 | $1,750.00 |
Examples 1 and 2 are the Oregon lesson: the same 11 hour days earn daily overtime in a manufacturing plant and nothing at all in a standard workplace, until the weekly 40 is crossed.
Manufacturing has hour caps too. Beyond overtime, manufacturing workers generally cannot be required to work more than 55 hours a week, or 60 with written consent. Canneries and packing plants have similar limits, with narrow perishable goods exceptions.
Rates change on July 1, not January 1. Oregon adjusts its minimum wage mid year on inflation. A minimum wage worker whose pay period straddles June 30 and July 1 earns two different rates in the same week.
No tip credit anywhere in Oregon. Tipped workers earn the full regional rate in cash before tips, whether they work in Portland at $16.80 or a non urban county at $14.55.

Only for manufacturing. Workers in mills, factories, manufacturing establishments, canneries, driers and packing plants earn 1.5x after 10 hours in a day. All other workers follow the weekly 40 hour rule.
Three rates from July 1, 2026: $16.80 inside the Portland metro urban growth boundary, $15.55 standard, and $14.55 in non urban counties. There is no tip credit.
The rate follows where the work is performed. Work mostly inside the Portland urban growth boundary earns $16.80; standard counties earn $15.55; designated non urban counties earn $14.55.
With the Wage and Hour Division of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. Overtime claims carry a 2 year statute of limitations; other wage claims up to 6 years.
Yes. Oregon has a graduated income tax from 4.75% to 9.9%, among the highest top rates in the country, and overtime wages are taxed like regular wages.
Yes, if nonexempt. A salary alone does not remove overtime rights. Only employees who pass the exempt duties and salary tests can be denied overtime pay.
