Employee benefits compliance is undergoing a dramatic transformation — and Public Law 119-21, known as “One Big Beautiful Bill,” introduces some of the most significant changes in years. For HR professionals, benefits administrators, and employers of all sizes, this webinar delivers essential insights to help navigate the evolving regulatory landscape with clarity and confidence. From healthcare accounts to tax incentives, the updates affect both your legal obligations and your ability to stay competitive in a tight labor market.

Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of critical changes impacting health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), high-deductible health plans (HDHPs), and telehealth benefits. Discover how new payroll rules around tax-free overtime and tipped income impact your compensation strategy, and uncover how small employers can take advantage of new tax credits for childcare, paid leave, and CHOICE plans. This session also explores the broader compliance implications of Public Law 119-21, including its effects on Medicaid, health plans, and access to gender-affirming care. You’ll leave with a roadmap to update policies, fine-tune benefits offerings, and future-proof your HR and payroll practices.

Your Benefits For Attending:
  • Understand the key benefit updates under Public Law 119-21, including changes to HSAs, FSAs, telehealth, and HDHPs
  • Learn how new payroll rules impact tax-free overtime and tips, and how to implement these changes correctly
  • Discover tax credits and plan incentives available for small employers, including paid leave and childcare support
  • Prepare for compliance shifts related to health and welfare plans, Medicaid, and gender-affirming care access
  • Identify compliance blind spots and update HR tools, policies, and employee communications accordingly

Attending this webinar equips you with actionable knowledge to strengthen your compliance posture, leverage new employer incentives, and confidently adapt your employee benefits strategy in response to major legislative reform.

This session is ideal for HR professionals, benefits administrators, payroll managers, and small business employers looking to stay compliant and competitive in a rapidly changing benefits environment.

Today's presenter, Wendy Sellers, was pushing an agenda of fear and recommending extreme and unrealistic measures. Making all office staff take their temperature with a person standing there and waiting a few minutes to be tested (and retested based on weather) is simply NOT realistic, and office staff would not accept waiting in line for 5-10 minutes (or worse) every time they enter the office. This is simply not realistic, and it's even worse for many companies that specify an official starting time like 8AM for all office staff to facilitate everyone being there when needed by management or customers. Requiring office staff to wear masks is also not realistic in my view, and I think we'd get a lot of resistance. Neither is taking people's fans away. Requiring fans to be under one's desk would be a lot more feasible, and just as effective. In addition, Wendy made absolutely no mention of testing to identify those who already have immunity and therefore should have no fear of returning to the workplace at all. Top Immunology lab experts confirm people would have immunity after recovering or being assymptomatic, and a person would simply die if they did not develop some form of immunity! Preventing those 65 and older from returning to the office, while allowing 64 year olds to do so is also arbitrary and frankly discriminatory. We need more practical solutions that can actually be implemented without extreme disruption to the business. She should have specified different recommendations for retail/store businesses and headquarters or backoffice staff as well. The review of CDC, EEOC and ADA guidelines was helpful, but practicality needs to be considered. At the end of the day, we need our people to feel comfortable collaborating with each other as opposed to viewing each other as a vector or threat. Clearing those who have immunity and those who are otherwise healthy and say they're not concerned, while accommodating others by allowing them to continue working remotely without asking them specific health-related questions is a lot more realistic. The reality is, we need better solutions than what Wendy Sellers presented today.
