Payroll That Protects Your Business
We handle the complexities of Oregon labor laws, Paid Leave, and tax filings so you never have to worry about a BOLI letter again.
Don’t Stress About Your Payroll
The Problem: “It’s Not Just Cutting a Check”
Running payroll in Oregon is complicated. It used to be simple. Now, you have to navigate Paid Leave Oregon, the Statewide Transit Tax, TriMet, and Workers’ Comp.
- One missed deadline can result in automatic penalties.
- Misclassifying a contractor vs. an employee can trigger a state audit.
- Using “Big Box” payroll providers often leaves you stuck on hold when a local tax issue arises.
We turn this liability into a reliable, automated system.
How it works
Our System
1
Automated Tax Filings
Federal, State, and Local payroll taxes are calculated, filed, and paid automatically.
2
Employee Onboarding
New hires self-onboard digitally. They enter their own bank info and W-4 data, saving you the paperwork.
3
Direct Deposit
Your team wakes up on payday with money in the bank. No paper checks to sign.

Frequently Asked Questions
I only have 1099 contractors, not employees. Do I need this?
Yes, but a “Lite” version. You don’t need full payroll, but you do need a system to collect W-9s and file 1099s. We offer a “Contractor Compliance” package specifically for this.
How do you handle “Paid Leave Oregon”?
We automate it. We set up the deduction rates in Gusto so the employee portion is withheld correctly and the employer portion (if applicable) is calculated automatically.
Can I switch payroll providers mid-year?
Yes. It requires entering your “Year-to-Date” (YTD) payroll history into the new system so your W-2s are correct at year-end. We handle this migration for you to ensure no data is lost.
