Unemployment Insurance Tax

Unemployment Insurance Tax

Unemployment Insurance Tax is administered by the Employment Department.

Frances,* the Oregon Employment Department’s new, modernized system, is Here!

Our new system, Frances Online is now live and supports both unemployment insurance (UI) and Paid Leave Oregon, the new program for family, medical and safe leave.

Beginning with the third quarter filing in 2022, Frances Online replaces the Oregon Payroll Reporting System (OPRS) and the Employer Account Access (EAA) portal.

The system will start supporting the Statewide Transit Tax (STT) and Paid Leave Oregon contributions in the first quarter of 2023.

You will use Frances Online to:

• Easily update your account information, manage account access and add and make changes to your staff access, and connect your clients to your account.
• File and amend your combined payroll report and find your tax rate and those of your clients.
• View the letters we send you, and send and receive secure messaging from inside the system, and more!
