- Oregon employment law does not require that an employee be paid for show up time; it only requires paying an employee for time actually worked. A job can be cancelled or cut short due to lack of work after a person is at work. The employer is required to pay for actual time worked. Please refer to Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries for clarification.
- Some districts may choose to pay a substitute for show up time if a job was cancelled. This varies by district and is at their discretion.
