Employers with Paid Leave Oregon (PLO) equivalent plans must file their annual reports by January 31, 2024. The report may be filed through the Frances Online system or by paper. These reports show employers’ annual aggregate benefit usage and aggregate financial information from the previous calendar year. Employers will need to include the following benefit information in their report:
- The number of paid family leave applications received during the year and the applications’ reason for leave;
- The number of paid family leave applications approved during the year, the reason for leave, and the total amount of leave; and
- The number of paid family leave applications denied during the year, the reason for leave, the number of appeals made, and the outcome of the appeals.
The following aggregate financial information must also be included:
- The total amount of contributions withheld from employees during the year;
- The total plan expenses paid during the year, including the total benefit amounts paid by an employer-administered equivalent plan, and total administrative costs; and
- The balance of employee contributions remaining at the end of the year.
If the Oregon Employment Department requests additional information, employers have 10 calendar days from the date of the notice from the department to respond.
