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.
