Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages.
The Oregon Legislature passed a bill establishing a series of annual minimum wage increases. To accommodate the different economies contained within the state, the bill divided the state into three regions and established minimum wage rates as follows:
| Date | Standard Adjusted annually based on the increase, if any, to the US City average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers | Portland Metro $1.25 over the standard minimum wage | Nonurban counties $1 less than the standard minimum wage |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 1, 2023 | $14.20 | $15.45 | $13.20 |
| July 1, 2024 | $14.70 | $15.95 | $13.70 |
| July 1, 2025 | $15.05 | $16.30 | $14.05 |
