I'm starting my year-end to do list and looking at the new Oregon Paid Leave laws that require a contribution of 1% of employee wages, paid 60% by employee through payroll deductions and 40% by the employer. I'm not sure how best to set this up in GP. Is there a plan that this will be added to the tax tables for 2023? Or will it need to be set up like as a local tax or a deduction? Wanting to figure this out sooner rather than later even though we are 2 months away yet because year end seems to have a way of creeping up on us.
Hello, thanks for reaching out on forums today! This will not be in the tax tables as this is nothing the state of Oregon puts in their published tax tables that I'm aware of. From the glance of what you have noted above, would this be a benefit and a deduction to the employee vs a local tax? It is good we are preparing now; you can set it up and test to make sure it is working as you expect. We can leave this in the forum too if another Oregon customer wants to chime in on what they plan to do, thanks

I just helped a CO-based company set up something similar.
They set up a deduction and a benefit.
Short of any restrictions, you would set up the deduction to be a percentage of gross wages. You would select which pay codes should be included. Set the single tier amount at 0.6%.
Set up the benefit has a percentage of gross wages and select the pay codes to include. Set the single tier amount to 0.4%.
Make sure you select the Include Deductions and Include Benefit buttons on the Build Checks window to add the new deduction and benefit codes.
Give this a shot and see if you get what you're expecting.
