In this episode, we break down the biggest employee benefits and compliance updates employers need to know heading into year-end — in plain English. From the IRS’s finalized ACA reporting instructions to newly indexed thresholds for highly compensated and key employees, we’ll cover what’s changing and what employers should double-check before 2026. We’ll also walk through the new PCORI fee increase, the upcoming December 31 gag clause attestation deadline, and the key end-of-year tasks HR teams shouldn’t overlook. And to wrap it up, we’ll answer this month’s question: can employees enroll in a dependent care FSA before their child is born? Quick, clear, and jargon-free — tune in to stay ahead and stay compliant.
