House Committee on Education and the Workforce Meets to Discuss Final Overtime Rule
Jun 10, 2016
The House Committee on Education and the Workforce met on June 6, 2016 to discuss the final rule on overtime. These new regulations will extend overtime pay for all eligible salaried employees who make up to $47,476. The committee and its witnesses appeared to be divided over the necessity and potential effectiveness of this rule. Many supporting the rule stated that the costs incurred on employers will be minimal and that this rule will allow employees to have a better work-life balance. Those opposed to the rule claimed that the final rule asks too much of employers financially and that those in the nonprofit sector will not be able to comply with the rule. There was also concern that many businesses and non-profits may have to make adjustments to schedules and salaries in order to comply with the rule. Despite objections, the rule is final and will go into effect on December 1, 2016.  SGIA continues to monitor this important piece of legislation.

PRINTING United Alliance Urges Congress to Make Tax Relief for Small Businesses Permanent

The introduction of Section 199A under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 provided a pivotal tax benefit to small businesses structured as pass-through entities. By allowing these businesses to deduct up to 20% of their qualified business income (QBI) from individual tax bills, the deduction has fostered economic growth and supported businesses like S-corporations, LLCs, sole proprietorships, and partnerships. However, with the provision set to expire on December 31, 2025, small businesses are bracing for a significant tax hike that threatens their stability and growth.

Congress Avoids a Government Shutdown

To avoid a government shutdown, Congress passed on September 25, 2024, and President Biden signed into law, a continuing resolution (CR, H.R. 9747) that will extend funding for the federal government until December 20, 2024. The passage of the CR avoided a government shutdown right before the new fiscal year (FY) began on October 1, 2024. With a CR enacted, members of Congress left their offices on Capitol Hill for a campaigning recess in the run-up to the November 5, 2024 General Election. Congress will return on November 12, 2024, and will have until December 20, 2024 to negotiate bipartisan spending agreements on all 12 FY 2025 appropriations.
