FMLA/OFLA provide unpaid, job-protected leave when you need to take time off work. Leave may be taken all at once or intermittently as required. Current leave laws define who is eligible, what absences qualify, and how much leave time you may take during the leave year. Your health insurance benefits are protected and will be continued while you are on FMLA/OFLA leave.

Leave for Victims Certain Crimes

Under Oregon law protected leave for survivors of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault or Stalking may be available.
