Taxing Overtime Pay- What Employers Need to Know About the New Law

The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduces an important change for employers: the overtime “half-time” portion is no longer subject to federal income tax.

In this video, Claudia St. John, Founder & CEO of The Workplace Advisors, explains:

– What part of overtime pay is tax-exempt under the new law
– How employers must track and report overtime going forward
– The impact on W-2s and upcoming IRS guidance
– Steps you should take now with your payroll provider and tax advisor

Employers will need to carefully track and report the additional half-time portion of overtime so employees can claim the appropriate deduction when filing taxes in 2026.
