Portland Restaurant Workers Association

As an “at-will” employment state, Oregon employers are not required to:

1. provide holidays off for workers
2. pay workers for being closed on holidays
3. provide any compensation above the regular rate of pay for work performed on a holiday (unless 40 or more hours are worked in the holiday week, then standard overtime pay is mandatory)

The only exceptions to this rule are if your employer has a written policy (like an employee handbook) that states holiday pay is given or if you are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
