In 1983, Work Share was created in Oregon in an effort for b​usinesses to avoid layoffs, retain talent during a temporary decline in business, and continually provide reduced wages plus unemployment benefits to subsidize the reduction in wages. Currently, there are over 1,700 active employers utilizing Work Share in Oregon to avoid wide scale layoffs. ​

 Employer Update: 

Frances,* the Oregon Employment Department's new, modernized system, is coming in September 2022!

Frances Online will support both Unemployment Insurance and Paid Leave Oregon, the new Paid Family and Medical Leave program. Beginning with the third quarter filing in 2022, Frances Online will replace the Oregon Payroll Reporting System (OPRS) and the Employer Account Access (EAA) portal. The system will start supporting Statewide Transit Tax and Paid Leave Oregon contributions in the first quarter of 2023.

Frances has replaced the Oregon Payroll Reporting System (OPRS)). Click here to go to Frances Online.

In Frances Online, you will have more options for account access and filing your payroll reports as well as many new features, including amending Statewide Transit Tax from January 2023 forward, saving reports in progress, sending account attachments, and importing report data.

*The new system is named in honor of Frances Perkins, the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 – 1945 and the first woman to serve in a Presidential cabinet.​
