Payroll outreach and training

The Oregon Department of Revenue offers employer payroll training quarterly 

Department of Revenue strives to make understanding the Combined Payroll Tax process as simple as possible for small businesses and their payroll partners. With that goal in mind, we participate regularly in outreach events across the state and provide live training by DOR representatives.

What will this training cover?

Oregon payroll basics:

  • Registering for payroll taxes
  • Understanding different payroll taxes
  • How to report and pay payroll taxes

Worker status (employees versus independent contractors):

  • Understanding the differences between employees and contractors
  • Resources to help employers classify workers

The next available training will be held
