Subject: [hrexec] Paid Leave Oregon - Where to Direct Questions


Good morning,



So far, we have held four Paid Leave Oregon Explained sessions for state employees.  They have all been well attended and a lot of helpful information has been shared. Outside of these sessions, employees have been reaching out to Paid Leave Oregon and agency HR staff with questions. We have partnered with Paid Leave Oregon to create the guidance below on where to refer employees based on specific topics.



When to refer employees to PAID LEAVE OREGON:

  *   applying for Paid Leave Oregon

  *   qualifying reasons for leave
