Legislative Monitoring

Canada

United States

Previous Legislative Updates

Alabama Exempt Overtime Update

On May 3, 2024, the governor of Alabama approved HB407, which amended the definition of gross income related to overtime income effective October 1, 2024.  The amended definition of gross income now includes FLSA overtime.  PeopleSoft will continue to monitor to see if there are further updates.  Currently, there are no anticipated PeopleSoft deliverables for this update.

Maryland Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program Update

On April 25, 2024, the governor of Maryland approved SB0485, the second postponement of the Maryland Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program, which will now start July 1, 2025.

SECURE 2.0 Act – Updates

The IRS announces administrative transition period for new Roth catch up requirement; catch-up contributions still permitted after 2023.  As a reminder, this two year administrative transition (delay) period is ONLY for Section 603 and does not address the other 91 provisions of SECURE 2.0.
