Does Oregon Have Daily Overtime? (The 10-Hour Rule)

For most regular office, retail, and service workers, Oregon follows the standard federal rule: overtime is only paid after 40 hours in a workweek. However, Oregon has a highly specific daily overtime law (ORS 652.020) that applies strictly to a massive blue-collar sector.

If you work in a manufacturing establishment, mill, or cannery, your employer must pay you time-and-a-half (1.5x) for any hours worked over 10 in a single day.

"The 13-Hour Hard Limit: Under Oregon law, it is generally illegal for a mill or manufacturing worker to work more than 13 hours in any 24-hour period unless there is a true, verifiable emergency."
A visual flowchart explaining the Oregon 10-hour manufacturing overtime rule. It shows a worker in a factory setting clocking a 12-hour shift. The first 10 hours are shaded in green as 'Regular Pay', and the final 2 hours are highlighted in bright red as '1.5x Overtime Pay', even though their total weekly hours are only 36.
For Oregon factory and cannery workers, long daily shifts mean guaranteed overtime pay, regardless of the weekly total.

The "Greater Of" Rule: Daily OT vs Weekly OT

Like Alaska and Colorado, Oregon prevents "pyramiding" (double-counting overtime). Employers are not allowed to pay you daily overtime AND weekly overtime for the same exact hour of work.

If you check the "Manufacturing" box in our calculator, it will calculate your overtime owed under the daily 10-hour rule, then calculate it under the standard weekly 40-hour rule, and automatically award you whichever amount pays more.

Scenario: Mill worker doing three 12-hour shifts (36 total hours)
Calculation Method Regular Hours Overtime Hours (1.5x)
Standard Federal FLSA (Weekly > 40) 36 Hours 0 Hours
Oregon Manufacturing Rule (Daily > 10) 30 Hours 6 Hours (3 shifts x 2 OT hrs)

Oregon's Tiered Minimum Wage (2026)

Oregon is unique because its minimum wage is determined by exactly where your job is located within the state. The state uses a three-tier geographic system, adjusted annually on July 1st:

Oregon does not allow a "tip credit." This means employers cannot pay tipped workers (like waiters and bartenders) less than the full state minimum wage. You get your full hourly wage plus all your tips.
