If you run an hourly crew in Oregon, two questions come up every payroll: how much do you owe once someone crosses into overtime, and are you following the state's rules. Oregon pays overtime at 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek, and manufacturing establishments, canneries, driers, and packing plants also owe it after 10 hours in a day, which the calculator on this page does not count. The Oregon minimum wage is $15.55 an hour. This page gives you a free Oregon overtime calculator, a plain summary of the state's wage and hour rules, and a look at how Clox tracks your crew's hours.

Oregon wage and hour rules
Here's the short version of the rules an hourly Oregon employer runs into. Each figure has a source below, and the rules change over time, so confirm anything you rely on with the state.
$15.55 per hour standard rate since July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Oregon has three regional rates. The Portland metro rate is $16.80 per hour inside the urban growth boundary (parts of Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties). The standard rate of $15.55 applies in Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Deschutes, Hood River, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, Wasco, and Yamhill Counties, and in the parts of Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties outside the urban growth boundary. The nonurban rate is $14.55 per hour in Baker, Coos, Crook, Curry, Douglas, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, and Wheeler Counties. Tip credits are illegal in Oregon, so tipped employees must receive the full minimum wage before tips. Oregon also has no training wage: employees must receive at least minimum wage during all stages of employment. Rates are adjusted each July 1 for inflation. The July 1, 2027 rates have not been announced yet. The Bureau of Labor and Industries calculates the adjustment by April 30 each year.
1.5x the regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in the workweek (ORS 653.010 to 653.261). The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries defines the workweek as a regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods, which may begin on any day and hour the employer chooses as long as it repeats on a regular basis. Agricultural workers are being phased in: overtime is owed after 48 hours in a workweek in 2025 and 2026, and after 40 hours starting January 1, 2027.
Only in some industries. Employees of manufacturing establishments must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 10 in a day or over 40 in a workweek (ORS 652.020). They may work no more than 13 hours a day. When an employee has both daily and weekly overtime in the same workweek, the employer calculates overtime on a daily basis and on a weekly basis and pays the greater of the two. Daily overtime does not apply to employees whose collective bargaining agreement addresses hours and overtime. Employees of canneries, driers, and packing plants must also be paid 1.5 times the regular rate for hours over 10 in a day or 40 in a workweek (ORS 653.265), excluding those located on farms that primarily process products produced on those farms. US DOL notes that sawmills, planing mills, shingle mills, and logging camps are excluded from the manufacturing daily overtime rule. Other Oregon employers owe overtime only on hours over 40 in the workweek.
For a work period of 6 to 7 hours, the meal must start after the second hour worked and before the fifth hour begins. For a work period over 7 hours, it must start after the third hour worked and before the sixth hour begins. A shift of 14 hours requires a second meal period. Exceptions cover equipment failures, undue hardship with written notice, an industry custom of a paid 20 to 30 minute meal, and tipped food and beverage servers who voluntarily waive the meal period in writing. Minors aged 14 and 15 must always receive the required meal periods.
The Bureau of Labor and Industries gives these counts: 2 hours or less, none; 2 hours 1 minute to 6 hours, one; 6 hours 1 minute to 10 hours, two; 10 hours 1 minute to 14 hours, three. A typical 8-hour shift gets two paid 10-minute breaks and one unpaid 30-minute meal. Rest breaks for all minors under 18 are 15 minutes instead of 10.
Quit with at least 48 hours' notice, not counting weekends and holidays: on the last day of employment, or the next business day if that day is a weekend or holiday. Quit with less notice: within five business days or on the next regular payday, whichever comes first (ORS 652.140(2)). Seasonal farmworkers are paid immediately when employment ends, or by noon the next day if it ends at the close of harvest season. An employer that willfully fails to pay final wages on time owes penalty wages of eight times the employee's regular hourly rate for each day the wages go unpaid, up to 30 days (ORS 652.150).

Track Oregon hours accurately with Clox
A calculator is only as accurate as the hours you put into it. Clox is time tracking built for field and trade crews, so your crew's hours are recorded accurately in the first place, then the overtime is figured for you.
- Your crew clocks in with one tap on their phone, and it works offline, so a dead zone on the job doesn't lose a punch.
- Lock clock-in to a geofenced worksite so it has to happen on site. It's a strong deterrent, not a foolproof guarantee, because the location comes from the phone.
- Overtime is calculated automatically on the Oregon weekly-40 rule, so you're not doing this math by hand every Friday.
- Export payroll-ready files for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, and Paychex when the week is done.
If your crew moves between addresses during the day, settle how you handle drive time between job sites before you run the numbers. Those hours can count toward the weekly total, and leaving them untracked understates the overtime you owe.
You can see the plans on the pricing page, or start a free trial. It's 14 days free, no credit card to start, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
