The rule, plainly stated

Pay rates + deductions + purposes — at hire and every paycheck.

Oregon's pay-statement requirements operate on two layers: a one-time itemized disclosure at hire (new for 2026) and recurring per-paycheck statements with each payment.

ORS 652.610 — Itemized Statement of Wages and Deductions: On every regular payday, the employer shall provide each employee with an itemized statement showing the employer's name and address, hours worked, pay rate, gross wages, deductions and their purposes, and net wages.

New-hire statement effective January 1, 2026

Effective January 1, 2026, Oregon expanded its pay transparency requirements with a new-hire itemized statement obligation. The statement must include: eligible pay rates for the position, benefit contributions and deductions, the purposes of all regular deductions, and any allowances. BOLI publishes a template available for download. Distribution can be by paper, email, or shared file. The statement must be available to the worker before or on the first day of work.

Per-paycheck statement (existing rule)

Each paycheck must be accompanied by an itemized statement showing: employer's name and address, worker's name, pay period start and end dates, hours worked, pay rate, gross wages, all deductions and their purposes, and net wages. Statements can be paper or electronic; workers must have access without cost.

FAQ

People also ask.

What's new about Oregon pay statements in 2026?
Effective January 1, 2026, employers must deliver an itemized statement of earnings and deductions to new hires. The statement includes pay rates, benefit contributions, deductions and their purposes, and any allowances. BOLI provides a template. The per-paycheck statement requirement (existing) continues.
What must appear on each per-paycheck statement?
Employer's name and address, worker's name, pay period dates, hours worked, pay rate, gross wages, all deductions with purposes, net wages, and (under separate sick time rules) accrued and used sick time balance.
Can pay statements be electronic?
Yes. Statements can be delivered by paper, email, or through an online employee portal. Workers must have access without cost — meaning they cannot be charged for access or required to pay for printing.
Do I need to use BOLI's exact template?
No. Employers can use their own template as long as all required fields are present. BOLI's template is the safest approach for confirming compliance, and BOLI updates it annually as field requirements change.
How long must statements be retained?
At least 6 years to align with Oregon's wage claim statute of limitations (ORS 12.080). Federal FLSA recordkeeping (29 CFR Part 516) requires 3 years of payroll records but Oregon's longer SOL effectively extends the retention period.
