Oregon Amends Family Leave Regulations: Employment Law Manual Updated
Author: Melissa Burdorf, XpertHR Legal Editor
Oregon has made permanent amendments to the Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA) regulations. The amendments, which became effective immediately, clarify:
- The definition of spouse;
- Requirements for parental leave and bereavement leave;
- Procedures for designating OFLA leave; and
- How to handle employees who fail to provide timely notice of the need for leave.
In light of this development, the FMLA: Oregon section of the Employment Law Manual has been updated.
