The Oregon Employment Department that administers “Paid Leave Oregon” (Oregon state’s paid family and medical leave program) recently released the model notice poster that can be used for employers to fulfill their notice requirement to their Oregon employees. Employers must post and/or send the model notices no later than January 1, 2023.
Employers who have at least one employee working in the state of Oregon must display this Paid Leave Oregon model notice poster at each work site in a clearly visible place where employees regularly see the poster. For their remote workers, employers must share it electronically or by mail. The model needs to be provided in the same language(s) the employer uses to communicate with employees. The poster is available in 11 languages and can be downloaded or printed from the resources section of the Paid Leave Oregon website.
The covered employees' and employers' premium contributions into Paid Leave Oregon will begin on January 1, 2023; and the benefits will be available to the eligible employees on and after September 3, 2023.
The department has also released additional resources for employers, including the employer guidebook. For the 2023 premium rate announcement, please refer to the June 7, 2022, edition of Compliance Corner. Employers with Oregon employees should prepare to display or send the model notice poster, set up payroll withholdings of the employees’ contributions and review the employer guidebook.
