Overview:
The OBBBA changes are not optional - and non-compliance can cost you. From increased ICE enforcement to tax deduction opportunities for employees, the law touches nearly every HR function.
You'll leave this session with a step-by-step, 30-day action plan, communication tips, checklists, and templates to ensure you're not caught off guard. You'll also gain insight into how to handle gray areas like tip tracking, union implications, Medicaid verification requests, and preparing for IRS 'Tipped Occupation' guidance.
Why You Should Attend:
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) marks one of the most significant federal HR compliance shifts in recent years. It impacts how employers report, communicate, and respond across five areas:
- Overtime tax deduction tracking
- Tip reporting and qualified roles
- Expanded ICE/immigration enforcement
- Medicaid verification requests
- Benefits plan updates to DCFSAs and HSAs
We’ll walk you through what qualifies, what doesn’t, how to prepare for gray areas (like state OT rules or service charges), and how to sequence your internal rollout with a 4-week plan and supporting checklists. This is your all-in-one prep session.
Area Covered in Session:
- Tax deductions for OT & tips: how they work and what qualifies
- I-9 audit readiness: scripts, drills, and self-audit tips
