Final pay and PTO in Oregon
In Oregon, whether unused PTO is included depends on your employer's written policy. Oregon requires vacation payout when the employer’s policy or agreement provides for it, with strict final-paycheck deadlines.
Your final paycheck combines any regular wages you earned but were not yet paid with your accrued PTO payout where it is owed. Use-it-or-lose-it forfeiture of earned time is allowed in Oregon, and the window to claim unpaid final wages runs for 6 years. This calculator pre-selects Oregon so the state tax estimate is built in.
For the governing statute (reference: Or. Rev. Stat. § 652.140) and a full PTO breakdown, see the Oregon PTO payout guide and final paycheck rules by state.
