What the source says
In Oregon in 2026, workers and businesses will continue to contribute a combined 1 percent of payroll, just as in 2024 and 2025. The taxable wage base cap is the Social Security cap. Oregon’s law includes “safe leave” for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Small businesses are not required to contribute to the program.
