(1) Sick time must be paid no later than the payday for the next regular pay period after the sick time was used by the employee.

(2) An employer may not reduce an employee's benefits, including but not limited to health care benefits, because the employee uses accrued sick time to which the employee is entitled pursuant to ORS 653.601 to 653.661 and these rules.

(3) If an employer has requested written documentation or verification of use of sick time pursuant to ORS 653.626 and OAR 839-007-0045, the employer is not required to pay sick time until the employee has provided such documentation or verification.

(4) If an employer chooses to require written documentation or verification of use of sick time pursuant to ORS 653.626 and OAR 839-007-0045, such a requirement, as well as the employer's policy regarding any consequences resulting from an employee's failure or delay in providing such documentation or verification, must be included in the employer's written sick time policies.

(5) An employer who has not provided to an employee a copy of its written policy for providing notice of the need to use sick time may not deny sick time to the employee based on non-compliance with such a policy.
