State-wise Videos

This video covers the Oregon Sick Time Law (OSTL) and how it applies to home care workers. Eligible employees are entitled to 40 hours of sick and safe leave each year, supporting caregivers in illness, family care or safe-leave circumstances. Agencies must track these accruals and ensure compliance.

Who we empower every day

By Role

• Agency Owners – Develop policies and systems that track caregiver leave accrual, usage and ensure compliance with state law

By Persona

• Supervisors – Track caregiver leave status, approvals and ensure service coverage while respecting caregiver rights
• Care Managers – Plan staffing and client scheduling accounting for leave and backup coverage
• Billers – Confirm service delivery is adjusted when leave is used and ensure accurate billing/proration if necessary
• Schedulers – Assign shifts with awareness of caregiver leave entitlement and distribution of workload
• Caregivers – Know their rights for sick/safe leave, how to track accruals and request leave
• On-Call Coordinators – Manage backup staffing and coverage when leave is exercised

Caring for caregivers is part of building sustainable operations. Leave entitlements like OSTL must be tracked, integrated with scheduling/time capture (including EVV where applicable) and supported by software that enables transparency, accrual tracking and reporting.
