Does Oregon have daily overtime?
No. Like most states, Oregon follows the federal standard: overtime is owed only after 40 hours in a workweek, not for long single days, weekends, or holidays by themselves. Four states — California, Alaska, Nevada, and Colorado — add daily overtime; Oregon is not one of them. Employer policy or a union contract can still provide extra premiums.
The Oregon exceptions worth knowing
Premium pay is required after 10 hours a day in nonfarm canneries, driers and packing plants, and in mills, factories and manufacturing establishments (excluding sawmills, planing mills, shingle mills and logging camps). This is a narrow rule rather than a general one — it changes the answer only for the workers it names, and everyone else in Oregon is on the standard rule described above.

The federal rule that always applies in Oregon
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), covered non-exempt employees in Oregon must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. The math is two steps: overtime rate = regular rate × 1.5, then overtime pay = overtime rate × overtime hours. The authoritative federal reference is the U.S. Department of Labor overtime page. Rules change — confirm anything time-sensitive with Oregon's state labor department before relying on it.
No tax on overtime in Oregon
Overtime has never had a special higher tax rate — it is ordinary income. And under the 2025 federal law commonly called “no tax on overtime,” eligible workers in Oregon can deduct the premium portion of FLSA overtime (the extra 0.5x) from federal taxable income, up to annual caps, for tax years 2025 through 2028. Because it is federal, it applies in Oregon the same as every other state. Estimate what it is worth with the no tax on overtime calculator.
