The current Oregon minimum wage of $9.75 per hour is the lowest amount a non-exempt employee in Oregon can legally be paid for hourly work. Special minimum wage rates, such as the Oregon waitress minimum wage for tipped employees, may apply to certain workers.
In addition, exempt employees must be paid on a genuine salary basis as opposed to hourly or other methods of payment. Almost all Oregon employers are subject to the fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Employers subject to the FLSA are required to pay a minimum weekly salary of $455 a week or $23,660 annually.n addition, exempt employees must be paid on a genuine salary basis as opposed to hourly or other methods of payment.
