OBBB will be impacting the Regular Rate of Pay on the Overtime Calculation

Description:

Master the intersection of FLSA overtime rules and Section 70202 so your team gets classification, calculation, and new W-2 reporting right. This course translates DOL guidance (hours worked, regular rate, overtime) into day-to-day payroll practice—then layers in the No Tax on Overtime deduction: what qualifies (the premium portion), caps ($12,500 / $25,000), phase-out thresholds, 2025 approximation rules, and 2026 form/withholding changes. You’ll leave with ready-to-use tools (Excel audit checklist + controls tracker) and a step-by-step configuration plan for your payroll system.

You’ll learn how to:

• Nail regular-rate accuracy (bonuses, commissions, shift diffs) and avoid costly OT underpayments.
• Capture all compensable hours (breaks, on-call, travel, pre/post-shift) to prevent missed OT—and missed deductions.
• Separate and report qualified OT premium for 2025 (approximate) and 2026+ (final W-2 mappings).
• Build controls & audits that stand up to DOL/IRS scrutiny and employee inquiries.

Who should attend:

Payroll, HRIS, and Finance leaders who own compliance, reporting, and systems configuration or processing.
