For OnPay to effectively calculate state tax contributions, you'll need to ensure the tax rates entered in Onpay are correct for each state where your company has a tax obligations. For example, if you operate in both Oregon and Washington, you must keep payroll tax information up-to-date for each (and every) state where you pay employees.

Setting up employer/employee contributions for Paid Leave Oregon
The Paid Leave Oregon (PLO) program allows workers to take paid time off for important life events that impact the health and safety of their family, or themselves. This paid leave is jointly-funded by tax contributions from employers and employees, with some exemptions for the employer portions only.
- All company employees pay into this program through withheld taxes, regardless of company size or headcount
- Employers with fewer than 25 employees are exempt from the employer contribution, but must still withhold and deposit the employee portion of this tax
- Employers can choose to lessen the tax burden for employees by covering the employee portion of this tax
- Employers can choose how much of the employee portion they cover
