OMFLA: Length of Leave
(1)
During a period of military conflict, an employee who is a spouse or domestic partner of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, the National Guard or the military reserve forces of the United States who has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty or who has been deployed, is entitled to a total of 14 days of unpaid leave per deployment that may be taken:(a)
After the military spouse or domestic partner has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty and before deployment; and/or(b)
When the military spouse or domestic partner is on leave from deployment.(2)
The 14 day entitlement is per deployment. If multiple deployments occur in an employee’s leave year, the employee is entitled to use 14 days of Oregon Military Family Leave Act (“OMFLA”) leave for each deployment.(3)
The 14 days of unpaid leave to which the employee is entitled are individual days on which the employee, if working their normal schedule, would otherwise perform services for compensation for the employer. (Example: Employee normally works Monday through Friday. Employee is entitled to 14 days of leave, which if taken consecutively would be Monday through Friday on two consecutive weeks plus Monday through Thursday of the third week.)(4)
OMFLA leave need not be taken in one, uninterrupted period, but may be taken intermittently.(a)
For the purpose of intermittent leave, OMFLA leave is calculated for an employee by multiplying the number of hours the employee normally works per day by 14. (For example, an employee normally employed to work eight hours per day is entitled to 14 times eight hours, or a total of 112 hours of OMFLA leave.)(b)
If an employee’s schedule varies from day to day, a daily average of the employee’s hours must be used for calculating the employee’s normal work day. For example, an employee working an average of six hours per day is entitled to 14 times six hours, or a total of 84 hours of OMFLA leave. An employee working an average of 10 hours per day is entitled to 14 times 10 hours, or 140 hours.(c)
If an employee takes intermittent OMFLA leave, only the actual number of hours of leave taken may be counted toward the hours of OMFLA leave to which the employee is entitled.
