What Oregon does differently
- Thirty business days, and you cannot pay anyone until it is done. This is the combination that hurts. Oregon requires registration before any paycheck is issued and takes about six weeks to issue the number. A business that decides to hire with three weeks notice cannot pay that person on time, and there is no expedited route published.
