Oregon Minimum Wage Requirements
Oregon operates a unique three-tier minimum wage system based on geographic location, with rates adjusted annually on July 1st. Effective July 1st, 2025, through June 30th, 2026, Oregon’s minimum wages are:
Geographic Area
Minimum Wage Rate
Portland Metro Area
$16.30 per hour
Standard Counties
$15.05 per hour
Nonurban Counties
$14.05 per hour
Effective July 1, 2026, the standard minimum wage will be adjusted annually based on the increase, if any, in the U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index (CPI), with the Portland Metro rate set at $1.25 above the standard rate and the Nonurban rate set at $1.00 below the standard rate, rounded to the nearest five cents.
Want to avoid printing each poster?
The Oregon Federal and State Labor Law Poster includes this minimum wage poster, along with other required postings such as “Sexual Harassment and Domestic Violence” and “Workplace Accommodations.” Everything you need in one convenient format.
Stay compliant in every county
Oregon law requires state and federal labor law notices to be posted at each workplace location. Our all-on-one poster helps you stay compliant, whether you operate in the Portland-Metro area or the standard or nonurban counties.
Employers must determine the correct rate based on whether the employee works inside or outside the Portland Metro Urban Growth Boundary. Tip credits are not permitted in Oregon, and most workers are required to receive at least the applicable minimum wage.
Other details on the poster include:
Annual minimum wage increases on July 1
Deductions are only allowed if legally required or agreed to in writing
Contact information for BOLI to report violations or ask questions
Posting this notice is required for all employers, regardless of size or industry.
As labor laws continue to evolve, maintaining up-to-date 2026 labor law posters helps Oregon employers remain inspection-ready and avoid costly penalties.
If your business has employees outside of Oregon, minimum wage laws vary by location. View our updated resource on U.S. minimum wage rates by state to stay compliant nationwide.
FAQs
What Is the Oregon Minimum Wage Poster?
The Oregon minimum wage poster is a mandatory workplace notice required by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) that informs employees about minimum wage rates that vary by geographic location within the state. Unlike most states with a single minimum wage, Oregon has three different wage tiers based on whether employees work in the Portland Metro Area, Standard Counties, or Nonurban Counties. The poster explains how to determine which wage rate applies based on whether work is performed inside or outside the Portland Metro Urban Growth Boundary. It clarifies that tip credits are not permitted in Oregon, and all employees must receive at least the full applicable minimum wage regardless of tips.
Who Is Required to Post the Oregon Minimum Wage Poster?
All employers with employees working in Oregon must display the Oregon minimum wage poster, regardless of business size, industry, or number of employees. This comprehensive requirement applies to:
Private businesses of all sizes operating anywhere in Oregon
Employers in the Portland Metro Area, Standard Counties, and Nonurban Counties
Restaurants, hotels, and hospitality businesses (note: no tip credit allowed)
Retail establishments and service providers
Agricultural operations
Temporary and seasonal employers
Nonprofit organizations with paid staff
Government agencies and public sector employers
Employers with work sites in different geographic regions must ensure each location displays the correct applicable rate information.
Where Should the Oregon Minimum Wage Poster Be Displayed?
Oregon requires the Oregon minimum wage poster to be prominently displayed in locations where all employees can easily see and read it during their normal work activities. For businesses operating multiple locations across Oregon, each work site must display its own Oregon minimum wage poster showing the rates applicable to that geographic area. This is particularly important for businesses with locations in different wage tiers (Portland Metro, Standard, or Nonurban). For remote employees or telecommuters working from home in Oregon, employers should provide digital copies of the poster via email or through an employee portal.
What Happens If You Don’t Post the Oregon Minimum Wage Poster?
Failing to post the Oregon Minimum Wage poster can increase your risk of wage complaints, investigations, and costly penalties. If employees are not properly informed of their rights, disputes over pay, final wages, or deductions may lead to formal claims with BOLI or court action. Employers who fail to pay wages on time may owe penalty wages equal to eight hours of pay per day for up to 30 days. Willful failure to pay final wages can also result in a $1,000 civil penalty plus costs, interest, and attorney fees. Noncompliance can quickly become far more expensive than posting the required notice.
