With these new rules, Portland joins the growing number of other cities, counties and states across the country, including Oregon,1 that have enacted similar “ban-the-box” legislation in recent years.2

Employers doing business in Portland that have five or fewer employees will be required to provide unpaid sick leave for every 30 hours of work performed by qualifying employees.

Effective January 1, 2014, all employers must provide sick leave to employees who work part-time, full-time, temporarily, or just occasionally within the City of Portland, Oregon. Employers with more than five employees in any location must provide up to 40 hours of paid sick leave to employees working in Portland. Covered employees can include delivery drivers, couriers and outside sales personnel who occasionally travel to the City, as well as telecommuting workers who are located in Portland. Employers also must meet specific recordkeeping, reporting, usage, and notice requirements. (See our article, Portland, Oregon, Mandates Employer-Provided Sick Leave, for more information.)

Following examples set by San Francisco to the South, and Seattle to the North, the Portland, Oregon, City Council unanimously passed Portland’s new sick leave ordinance.

The new sick leave entitlements apply to all private-sector employers, regardless of location of the employer’s primary place of business. The law goes into effect January 1, 2014.
