Paid Leave Oregon helps workers but could strain employers | Northeast Oregon Weekender

A new state program called Paid Leave Oregon provides up to 12 weeks of paid family or medical leave from work. Leave can be taken anytime within a 52-week period for a variety of reasons, from bonding with a new baby to caring for a seriously ill family member. An additional two weeks of leave may be granted for certain conditions stemming from pregnancy and childbirth, and “safe leave” is available for people trying to escape an abusive relationship.
