In Oregon, parties who withhold retainage are limited to five percent of the amount earned with each progress payment. However, on large projects, retainage can end up being hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars, withheld from payment even though it has been earned.
Generally, Oregon law requires anyone who works for compensation in any construction activity involving improvements to real property to be licensed.
Under Oregon law, owners must make progress payments no later than 14 days after the date billing is received, and they have only 7 days to make the final payment after work is approved. However, these deadlines only apply to private projects.
A construction lien should be filed with the recording officer in the county or counties where the construction occurred. A lien holder has 75 days after completing the construction, or ceasing work on the construction, in which to file the lien.

A withholding allowance represents a portion of your income that isn't taxed. The more allowances you claim, the less tax will be withheld. For Oregon, one allowance is equal to one personal exemption credit's worth of tax for the year.
By law, as an employer you must withhold a portion of your employees' wages based on their allowances and send the funds to the Department of Revenue (DOR).
