Gain knowledge on essential wage payment rules to help avoid violations and penalties.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) makes the federal tax-free portion of overtime wages eligible for pay received between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. Only the premium pay required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) qualifies. Employers must accurately calculate and report eligible overtime to remain compliant. Incorrect overtime payments are a common USDOL violation and can result in costly back wages, tax issues, and benefit complications. Overtime calculations may involve shift differentials, opt-out incentives, and production bonuses, making compliance critical. This course covers essential wage payment rules to help employers avoid violations and penalties.
