The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) is Now the Law. How Will It Impact the Workplace?

Overview:

The "One Big Beautiful Bill," officially titled the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), is poised to dramatically reshape the workplace, tax landscape, and employment practices across the United States. Expanding on the framework of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), this sweeping legislation introduces bold provisions—such as eliminating federal taxes on overtime pay and employee tips, increasing business deductions, and altering federal spending programs—that promise to bring both opportunities and complexity for employers. While the bill aims to stimulate the economy through tax relief and business incentives, it also brings significant compliance challenges for HR and payroll departments who will bear the brunt of implementing and tracking these changes.

Employers must now prepare for a range of new reporting obligations, especially as it relates to the reclassification of taxable income, adjustments to payroll systems, and stricter oversight on tip reporting and overtime calculations. These changes may demand urgent updates to payroll software, timekeeping systems, and employee communication practices—especially in industries like hospitality, food service, retail, and healthcare, where tipped wages and overtime are common. Compounding this is the potential reduction in Medicaid support and federal funding, which may indirectly impact employee benefits and health coverage administration.

With rising expectations for transparency and compliance, HR and finance teams are under pressure to adapt quickly to avoid costly missteps or audits. This training session will help employers decode the full scope of the OBBB’s workplace impact—highlighting key opportunities for small businesses and partnerships while also addressing the practical burdens it imposes. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of how to navigate these updates proactively, ensuring their organizations remain compliant, competitive, and well-positioned to maximize the bill’s potential benefits.

Areas covered in the Session:

• Learn what the OBBB states and when it will start
• Learn how the “No taxes on Overtime and Tips  actually will work and how long it will last
• Learn how the tax provisions will help small businesses and some industries
