OSCC releases Pay Equity Guide for members Dear OSCC members and colleagues -Last month, the Bureau of Oregon Labor & Industries released their final rules for employers and employees on Oregon's groundbreaking Equal Pay Act, passed by the 2017 Oregon legislature. The new law that goes into effect on January 1, 2019 requires that employees be paid equally for comparable work regardless of gender or any of Oregon's ten other protected classes.We believe this will be the most challenging human resources issue for most of our Chamber members over the next year. Further complicating matters - and increasing the level of urgency - is that lawsuits are allowed based on violations of the law starting on January 1st.The guide, which you can view here, provides helpful information for your members as they prepare to comply with the new law. The guidance includes an overview of the law, frequently asked questions, a guide for employers on self-evaluations, a sample checklist of policies and practices, and a calculation tool created to assist employers in determining where they have potential wage gaps between employees.As the leading grassroots business organization for our local business communities, we think it's critical that every local business in every corner of our state has access to the best available information on how to implement the new law. We hope you will find that this tool provides great value to your members.

How to Start a Business in Oregon
SALEM, OR — Today, Secretary of State Dennis Richardson announced the release of a series of videos to help Oregon entrepreneurs start their small businesses.
“One of my top priorities for the Corporations Division is to make doing business in Oregon as simple as possible, and these new videos do just that,” said Richardson.
The “Start a Business” video series can be found through the Secretary of State website. These videos compliment the Business Xpress Startup Toolkit.
Business Xpress is Oregon’s one-stop shop for all things business.
Videos in the series include:
An overview of the process and the Business Xpress Startup Toolkit
- Step 1 – Choosing a name and legal structure
- Step 2 – Registering your business name
- Step 3 – Getting your tax numbers
- Step 4 – Insurance and bond information
- Step 5 – Business licenses based on location and trade
- Step 6 – Understanding employer obligations
- An overview of some of the state agencies small businesses might encounter
“Starting a business may seem overwhelming with endless details, but it’s actually pretty straightforward,” said Ruth Miles, Small Business Advocate for the Secretary of State. “When someone wants to start a business in Oregon, it’s our job to clear the obstacles and show the way.”
