Bill > SB1052

This bill makes several modifications to Oregon's paid family and medical leave insurance laws, focusing primarily on worker leasing companies and their contribution responsibilities. Specifically, the bill allows worker leasing companies to amend quarterly reports filed with the Department of Revenue to seek refunds for employer contribution amounts paid on behalf of client employers on or after January 1, 2023, with the Employment Department required to issue refunds within three years of the original payment. The bill also establishes that worker leasing companies are not responsible for paying employer contribution amounts for client employers with fewer than 25 employees. Additionally, the bill clarifies that when determining the number of employees for contribution liability purposes, the Employment Department shall calculate this separately for each client employer that a worker leasing company contracts with. The bill defines new terms such as "client employer" and "worker leasing company" and makes technical amendments to existing statutes related to the state's paid family and medical leave insurance program. The changes will become operative on July 1, 2026, and the bill itself takes effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns.
