Division 1 - WAGE COLLECTION MATTERS
Section 839-001-0130 - Exempt and Non-exempt Work

(1) The exempt status of an employee is determined by the type of work the individual performs and the location of the work performed in any one day. As indicated in sections (2) and (3) of this rule, the exempt status of individual employees may vary from day to day.

(2) Employees performing exempt and nonexempt work are exempt from the provisions of ORS 652.020 only when they are engaged in exempt work more than 50 percent of their working time in any one day.

(3) Where a mill, factory or manufacturing establishment is a combination of an exempt and non-exempt establishment, employees who are exclusively engaged in the sawmill, shingle mill, planing mill, or logging camp areas of the establishment are exempt. However, when an employee is engaged in both exempt and non-exempt areas of the establishment, the employee is not exempt.
