Bill Summary · HB 2787

Legislative bill overview

HB 2787 establishes new requirements governing how employers can schedule and compensate employees for on-call shifts in Oregon. The bill aims to clarify employer obligations regarding standby time, notification periods, and pay standards for workers required to be available outside regular work hours.

Why is this important

On-call scheduling practices significantly affect worker income stability, personal time, and quality of life, particularly in healthcare, retail, and emergency services. Clear statutory requirements provide predictability for both workers and employers while preventing abusive scheduling practices that leave workers uncertain about income or availability.

Potential points of contention

  • Compensation standards: Whether on-call time should be paid at full wages, minimum wage, or a reduced rate remains economically contentious between labor advocates and business groups
  • Industry applicability: Certain sectors (healthcare, emergency services) may argue on-call requirements are operationally necessary and shouldn't face the same restrictions as other industries
  • Notification requirements: Disputes likely over how much advance notice employers should provide before on-call assignments and what penalties apply for short-notice cancellations
