Plain-language summary, not legal advice.
Informational only, not legal advice. Final-pay rules turn on details this summary cannot weigh (payroll schedule, disputed amounts, deductions). See the full rules and citations on the Oregon final paycheck reference, cited to ORS 652.140 (final pay deadlines); ORS 652.150 (penalty wage).
How Oregon final paycheck timing works
Oregon draws a sharp line between being fired and quitting. If your employer fires or lays you off, all your unpaid wages are due by the end of the next business day, so a Friday discharge is not allowed to sit over the weekend. If you quit, timing turns on notice: give at least 48 hours (not counting weekends and holidays) and your final check is due on your last working day; give less and the deadline stretches to five business days or your next regular payday, whichever comes first. Behind both deadlines sits a real enforcement tool. Under ORS 652.150, an employer who willfully misses the deadline owes penalty wages that keep running at your hourly rate for eight hours a day for up to 30 days. That penalty is Oregon's own rule and is not the California waiting-time penalty, though the two look alike.
This tool applies the Oregon rule to your last day worked. It is informational only and not legal advice — a "next regular payday" rule depends on your payroll schedule, and disputed amounts or deductions can change things. For the full rules, penalties, and citations, see the Oregon final paycheck reference.
