The term “artificial intelligence” might be the phrase of 2025. It’s written and spoken about virtually everywhere by practically everyone, and it essentially markets itself as the newest, shiniest, and most efficient tool for every industry to consider and put into practice.

But the term “artificial intelligence” is quite broad. The definition of AI is broadened even further when considering that different technologies can be combined to create new AI systems. Despite the ever-expanding definition of AI, it is important to take inventory of the different types of AI to determine which, if any, is best suited for a workplace investigation.

How AI Can Help in Workplace Investigations

Compliance Considerations and Concerns with AI

Investigators using AI in employment investigations continue to expose themselves to liability under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, and Employee Polygraph Protection Act, depending on the recommendation resulting from the investigation. Employers need to be aware that how they utilize AI in the workplace will determine their liability and litigation impact.

AI in HR Investigations. Is It a Double-Edged Sword When It Comes to Litigation?

Major updates for 2026 W-2 and Form 1099 are being introduced under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), including an increased 1099 reporting threshold and new reporting codes on the W-2 form for tips and overtime. These updates must be part of your compliance efforts. The changes will impact not only your payroll taxes but also the independent contractor’s protocol.


The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) has over 900 pages of provisions that are temporary and permanent. This has impacted organizations nationwide.

Employers will need to report the total amount of cash and non-cash tips reported by an employee and the occupation of the employee on the employee’s Form W-2. It does not end there.  Likewise, businesses and other payors that issue Forms 1099 to tipped contractors will have to separately report designated tips and the recipient’s occupation on the Form 1099. 

The OBBB Act instructs the IRS to update the applicable income tax withholding procedures and tax forms to reflect this new deduction and required occupation listing.

There are many challenges and confusion for Employers and employees on what needs to be done with these IRS changes. This training will outline the changes and compliance efforts that need to be put in place to avoid fines, penalties, and criminal sanctions.

IRS has provided draft documents to prepare Employers on the list of changes that have to be in place for 2026. They have also provided changes to some of the requirements due for 2025, which has confused about which requirements supersede. We will provide a step-by-step approach to ensuring compliance based on the IRS requirements. We will also offer resources that will help mitigate some of the challenges for 2025 and beyond.

Areas will be covered during the Session: 

•	Learn what OBBBA requirements are permanent and which are temporary
