2026 QUALIFIED OVERTIME UPDATE

If you have employees, there's a new requirement coming in 2026 that you need to know about.

So what is overtime tracking and why is everyone talking about it?

Overtime tracking is simply recording when employees work more than 40 hours in a week and ensuring they're paid time-and-a-half for those extra hours. Most businesses already do this; it's required by law.

But here's what's changing:

In the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act, there's a new requirement starting in 2026 called "Qualified Overtime."

Before 2026:

You tracked overtime hours
You paid employees time-and-a-half
You reported total wages on W-2s
Starting in 2026:

You still track and pay overtime the same way
BUT now you have to separately report "Qualified Overtime" wages on W-2s

This means QuickBooks needs to be set up to track this specific type of overtime in a new way
Why does this matter?

If you don't set up QuickBooks correctly now, you'll be scrambling in 2027 when you're trying to file 2026 W-2s. The IRS will want to see that Qualified Overtime is reported separately, and if your system isn't tracking it properly, you'll have to go back through an entire year of payroll manually.

Federal: 2024 EEO-1 Data Collection Opens May 20, 2025

Elimination of Non-Binary Gender Reporting

Removal of Safe Harbor Language

(Not a Change!) Federal Contractors Still Need to File

Action Items

Federal: 2024 EEO-1 Data Collection Opens May 20, 2025
The EEO-1 data collection online filing system is now open for employers to submit 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 reports. The submission period runs from May 20, 2025, through June 24, 2025—a shorter window than in prior years.

As a reminder, the EEO-1 Component 1 report is a mandatory filing for private employers with 100 or more employees, and (at least for now) federal contractors and subcontractors that meet certain criteria and have 50 or more employees.

The EEOC Instruction Booklet has been updated for the 2024 report and there are two key changes, addressed below.https://www.eeocdata.org/pdfs/2024_EEO_1_Component_1_Instruction_Booklet.pdf

Elimination of Non-Binary Gender Reporting
Employers will now report employees’ s*x only as male or female. Previously, non-binary employees could be noted in a comments section. This option is no longer available.

Removal of Safe Harbor Language
The EEOC has removed references to the “Notice of Failure to File” and associated notifications. It’s not clear what impact this change will have on the enforcement process or whether there will be a shift in how noncompliance is handled.

(Not a Change!) Federal Contractors Still Need to File
Despite the revocation of Executive Order 11246, which previously mandated EEO-1 reporting for federal contractors with 50 or more employees, regulations still require these contractors to file their 2024 EEO-1 reports.

New York Increases Jury Duty Pay

Beginning June 8, 2025, the daily rate for jury duty in New York state will increase from $40 to $72. As was the case before, employers with 11 or more employees need to pay employees the daily rate for the first three days of their jury service (employees of smaller employers are paid the daily rate by the state).

As always, exempt employees should be paid their full salary unless they’re gone for an entire workweek and do no work at all during that time, though employers can offset the amount the employee receives from the state.

A 3005C - was signed by the governor on May 9, 2025.
