One Big Beautiful Bill Compliance Check: HR’s Guide to 2026 & Beyond

Program Summary

In our interactive, instructor-led 90-minute event, you will learn how the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act is actively reshaping business operations. While the law promised simplification, the reality for HR has been a complex web of retroactive adjustments and new reporting mandates.

This session moves beyond "theory" to the practical reality of enforcement. You will gain the tools to audit your compliance, fix payroll coding errors that are currently triggering tax discrepancies, and leverage the bill's expanded incentives for contract labor and small business growth before critical filing windows close.
