Employer¡¯s
Guide
Dear Oregon Entrepreneur,
Welcome to The Oregon Employer¡¯s Guide.
The Secretary of State, Corporation Division publishes this guide, but many state agencies
worked to provide this information on government registration and licensing requirements for
businesses. This guide provides basic information and a general checklist to guide you through
the process of hiring employees.
Whether you are a current Oregon employer, are hiring your first employee, or plan to
hire Oregon workers for a business located in another state or foreign country, this guide
will aid in keeping your business in compliance with Oregon laws and regulations if you
plan to:
?
Employ workers at a physical location in Oregon.
?
Hire employees who work from their homes in Oregon.
?
Issue payroll to yourself or others in Oregon.
The Corporation Division also publishes a separate guide to help when starting a business. The
Oregon Start a Business Guide provides a general checklist for the process of starting your
business, along with information on key contacts and business assistance programs to help you
start and operate your business.
Use the guides independently or together, depending on the specific needs of your business.
