The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed into law on July 4, 2025, is the most expansive federal legislation impacting employers since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This sweeping law includes retroactive provisions to January 1, 2025, and will have cascading compliance effects through 2028. At its core, the OBBBA creates complex new reporting, tax, and benefits obligations for employers—especially those in industries with tipped workers, hourly employees, or high-turnover staffing models.
This session will provide you with key items from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and how it impacts you as an Employer. We will discuss how to begin preparation for tax reporting to comply with the provisions of the Bill. While many items are tax deductions that are above the line deductions on employee’s tax returns, Employers will be impacted to provide information to employees for these deductions. This will require payroll systems to be updated to provide this data on W-2’s. Overtime deductions are for premium pay only so systems may need updated to calculate the correct amount. State Overtime laws do not apply as it only applies to Overtime premium pay under the FLSA.
