Paid Leave Oregon will use the same filing specifications for bulk filers as Unemployment Insurance in the combined payroll reporting system. The Oregon Employment Department’s new, modernized system is coming in September 2022. Frances* Online will replace the Oregon Payroll Reporting System (OPRS) and the Employer Account Access (EAA) portal, beginning with the third quarter filing in 2022. The new system will support combined payroll reporting, including Unemployment Insurance tax, Workers’ Benefit Fund (WBF), State Withholding Tax, Lane and TriMet Transit Taxes, and beginning in the first quarter of 2023, Statewide Transit Tax (STT) and Paid Leave Oregon contributions.
In the preceding weeks and months, the Oregon Employment Department will send additional information and communication to employers, including file specifications for bulk filers.
*The new system is named in honor of Frances Perkins, the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 – 1945 and the first woman to serve in a Presidential cabinet.
