Oregon Narrows Home Care Wage and Hour Exemption, Effective Jan. 1, 2027
Oregon’s companionship services exemption is narrowing for home care agencies under Senate Bill 1518.
SB 1518 freezes Oregon’s definition of companionship services to the federal definition in effect Jan. 1, 2016, so future federal changes won’t automatically expand the state’s exemption.
The bill also bars third parties in the business of providing home care or companionship services from claiming the exemption for workers they employ, whether singly or jointly. The change takes effect Jan. 1, 2027.
Payroll takeaway: Review exempt companionship workers who are employed through an agency before the new rules take effect.
