2026 Handbook Overhaul: Navigating Critical Updates! Does the OBBB Act Impact the Employee Handbook?

Overview:

If there's a time to rethink your handbook, now. The timelines have less to do with the year 2026, the obvious time to roll out a replacement handbook, and more to do with the wave of changes that recently swept the workplace based on the change in administration and their updated policies, including the One Big Beautiful bill Act.
The OBBB Act, signed into law on July 4, 2025, impacts employee benefits and payroll administration. You should update your employee handbook to address the following changes:
          · Tip and overtime tax deductions: For tax years 2025 through 2028
          · Tip deduction: Employees in customarily tipped occupations can deduct up to $25,000
          · Overtime deduction: Employees can deduct up to $12,500
          · Employer reporting

Beyond the OBBB Act, you should also consider other updates for 2025:
          · Remote and hybrid work policies
          · Artificial intelligence (AI)
          · Updated paid leave laws
          · Anti-harassment and inclusion
          · Employee classification

Why Attend this Training:

The OBBB Act is not the only change we will need to adjust to our Employee Handbooks. Federal regulations are not the only changes that are expected. We have learned that State regulations have superseded the Federal regulations because the regulation with the most benefit for the employee supersedes them. Many states have several changes that impact employees in state-specific and multi-state locations. When you add remote workers, there are many changes that have to be in place where compliance is key. Is your employers ready for the 2026 Employee Handbook updates?

Suggested Attendees:
