Bill > HB2787

This bill addresses on-call and standby work shifts by establishing new requirements for employers in Oregon. Specifically, the bill mandates that employers compensate employees for on-call time when workers are required to be available within 90 minutes of contact and cannot effectively use those hours for personal purposes, even if no actual work is performed. Employers must pay at least the federal minimum wage for these on-call shifts and must post work schedules at least 14 days in advance, including both regular and on-call shifts. The posted schedules cannot be changed without the employee's voluntary consent and must be displayed in a clearly visible and accessible location. These provisions apply to nonexempt employees as defined by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which typically covers hourly workers who are eligible for overtime pay. The bill aims to provide more predictability and fair compensation for workers who are required to be ready to work but may not actually be working during their on-call time.
