Yes and no. Federal law has made it quite clear that they have no interest in either vacation or sick time. Oregon law requires an employer to provide at least 40 hours of sick pay and permits, but does not require, the employer to cap the leave at 40 hours per year. An employer may cap it at a higher level, but may not cap it at less. A certain amount of pro-rating is permitted for employees who do not work the full year. With regards to vacation time, Oregon employers may legally cap vacation time but the only law regarding it is that they must adhere to their own policy, whatever it is. I could find nothing to suggest that employees are due compensation for either vacation or sick time that exceeds the cap, other than the same requirement that an employer follow their policy.
