The Oregon Employment Department has given the Oregon Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (PFMLI) program a new name, Paid Leave Oregon. Meanwhile, the department is working on the latest batch of rules for the program, which the Legislature established in 2019. Most employers and employees will begin to make payroll contributions early in 2023, as will their employees. What better time to learn about the program?

OBI is working with the employment department to schedule a series of instructional webinars, beginning in June. The first three webinars, which provide an overview of the program and equivalent-plan guidance, have been scheduled. Click the links to sign up.
