No specific laws identified for this ruling.
The court affirmed the Employment Department's determination that All PEO, Inc. is a new employer subject to the base tax rate for new employers under ORS 657.435, rather than entitled to a lower experience-based rate. The court rejected the employer's argument that retaining the same corporate entity status from the acquired company entitled it to the predecessor's favorable tax rate.
