This calculation tells you how many meal and rest breaks an Oregon non-exempt employee should receive for a specific work period, and which break minutes count as paid work time. Oregon BOLI uses a shift-length chart, so the answer changes at precise thresholds such as 6:00, 10:01, 14:00, and 22:01.
Federal law supplies the paid-time baseline. It does not require adult lunch or coffee breaks, but short breaks of about 5 to 20 minutes count as paid hours worked. A bona fide meal period of about 30 minutes is unpaid only when the employee is completely relieved of duty.
Oregon BOLI's chart requires no meal or rest break for shifts of 2 hours or less, 1 rest and no meal from 2:01 to 5:59, and 1 rest plus 1 meal at exactly 6:00. From 6:01 to 10:00, Oregon requires 2 rest breaks and 1 meal period.
Longer work periods add more breaks. Oregon requires 3 rest breaks and 1 meal from 10:01 to 13:59, 3 rest breaks and 2 meals at 14:00, 4 rests and 2 meals from 14:01 to 18:00, 5 rests and 2 meals from 18:01 to 21:59, 5 rests and 3 meals at 22:00, and 6 rests and 3 meals from 22:01 to 24:00.
Oregon requires a paid rest period of at least 10 continuous minutes for each 4-hour segment or major part of 4 hours worked. A major part means more than 2 hours, so exactly 2 hours does not trigger a rest break, while 2.5 hours does. Rest breaks must stay separate from meal periods and cannot be moved to the start or end of the shift.
Assume an Oregon adult non-exempt employee is on site for 8 hours at $31 per hour. The employee takes one uninterrupted, duty-free 30-minute meal period and two paid 10-minute rest breaks. Paid work time is 7.5 hours because the unpaid meal is excluded and the paid rests remain included. Straight-time pay is $232.50.
A one-off calculation is enough when you need to check one Oregon shift, confirm the required number of breaks, or verify that an unpaid meal deduction belongs on a timesheet. The calculator answer works best when the schedule, actual start and stop times, meal length, and duty-free status are already clear.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when break records repeat across teams, locations, or pay periods. Everhour Time Off tracks vacations, sick leave, and custom leave types with partial-day durations, balances, requests, approvals, and timesheet flow, which keeps paid leave separate from worked hours before managers review totals.

Yes. Non-exempt Oregon employees must receive a meal period of at least 30 continuous minutes when the work period is 6 or more hours. If the employee is not relieved of all duties, the employer must pay for the whole meal period.
Oregon BOLI's chart requires 2 meal breaks at a 14:00 work period and from 14:01 to 21:59. It requires 3 meal breaks at 22:00 and from 22:01 to 24:00. Oregon defines the work period from start to end of work, including rest breaks, but excluding unpaid meal periods.
Yes. Oregon rest breaks are paid, and federal law also treats short breaks of about 5 to 20 minutes as compensable hours worked. Oregon requires at least 10 continuous paid minutes for each 4-hour segment or major part of 4 hours worked.
No. A meal period is unpaid only when the employee is completely relieved of duty. If an Oregon employee performs duties during the meal period, the employer must pay for the whole meal period, even if the schedule labels it as lunch.
No. Oregon workers under 18 must receive a meal break of at least 30 minutes when they work 6 or more hours, plus paid rest breaks of at least 15 minutes during each 4 hours or major portion of work time. Meal exceptions cannot be applied to 14- and 15-year-olds.
Everhour Time Off tracks vacations, sick leave, holidays, and custom leave types alongside worked time. Partial-day durations, request approvals, balances, and timesheet totals help managers separate paid leave from Oregon work periods before payroll review.
Everhour timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, partially approve, or lock submitted time. That approval flow gives payroll reviewers a cleaner record before break deductions and paid rest time affect totals.
Track leave separately from worked time, review submitted totals, and keep approved records locked. Everhour Time Off connects leave requests and timesheet totals for cleaner payroll review.
