Minimum Wage
Continued from Page 11
nounced no later than April 30th.
The calculation is based on “any increase
in the U.S. City Average Consumer Price
Index (“CPI”) for All Urban Consumers
for All Items from March of the preceding
year to March of the year in which the cal-
culation is made. This amount is required
to be rounded to the nearest five cents” per
the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries
(BOLI).
The minimum wage update comes as the
second major wage update for the state of
Oregon this year, the first being centered
around agricultural overtime in Oregon,
which stated that as of January 1st, 2023
employers must start paying out overtime
to agricultural workers that work 55 hours
in one workweek.
“Businesses should look at modern payroll
solutions and software, as well as compli-
ance services such as labor law poster
subscriptions to ensure that they manage
compliance. These types of updates to leg-
islation are quite frequent in Oregon, so an
adaptable solution that can keep up is cru-
cial in order to avoid legal trouble,” said
the president of GNSA, Katharina Fink.
Businesses looking for more information
on Oregon payroll software or other ques-
tions regarding Oregon payroll laws and
processing should contact GNSA today.
