New unemployment reporting choices for businesses

Oregon lets a licensed professional employer organization (PEO) choose how to report workers whose employer responsibilities it has assumed. It can report them as its own employees or its client's employees for unemployment insurance. Benefits based on those wages are charged to the selected party. Wages count in both parties' payrolls when determining wages above the unemployment taxable wage limit. The PEO must notify the Oregon Employment Department in writing. To use client reporting, it must provide requested records within 60 days after submitting notice. Otherwise, it must report the workers as its own employees. Later changes start the calendar year after notice is received and cannot change again for two calendar years after taking effect. Elections made within the first 120 days after the law takes effect start at the beginning of that calendar quarter. Those initial elections do not count toward the change limit; this special rule is repealed January 2, 2027. Firms that only supply temporary workers or process payroll without assuming employer responsibilities are not PEOs under this framework.
