INFORMATION REGARDING TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF OVERTIME

Under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and IRS Notice 2025-69, certain employees may now deduct a portion of their overtime pay from their federal taxable income. Important:
This does not change your hourly rate, overtime eligibility, paycheck amount, tax withholding, or collective bargaining agreement. Any potential benefit will be realized only when you file your 2025 taxes.Annual deduction limits apply:
- $12,500 (single filers)
- $25,000 (married filing jointly)
These limits apply only to the overtime premium portion; not total overtime pay.
