Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) has updated their website on Paycheck Deductions to include information regarding SB 906 which goes into effect January 1, 2026. The law requires employers to provide new hires with a disclosure about earnings and deductions to help them understand what is contained in the already required itemized statement. The disclosure must include:
- general information on the employer’s established regular pay period;
- all types of pay rates the employee may be eligible for (such as hourly, salary, shift differential, piece rate(s) and commission-based pay);
- all benefit contributions and deductions;
- every type of deduction that might apply;
- the purpose of all deductions;
- allowances, if any, claimed as part of the minimum wage;
- employer-provided benefits as contributions and deductions; and
- all payroll codes for contributions and deductions with a detailed description or definition of each code.
Templates for the disclosures are also available in English and Spanish. However, employers should still review and customize the templates since each payroll code may be different depending on the employer. The disclosure can be provided on paper, electronically, through posting in a conspicuous place, or in a handbook.
Action Items
- Prepare pay statement disclosure.
- Have appropriate personnel trained on the requirements.
