##  November 2025 Newsletter

### Employment Law Bulletin

#### A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

##### Volume XXXXIII, Issue 11

**In this issue:** As employers navigate a projected 9.5% surge in health insurance costs for 2026, this month’s newsletter explores aggressive new strategies—from reference-based pricing to the strategic use of catastrophic "Obamacare" exemptions—to keep coverage affordable. Beyond healthcare, we dive into the "One Big Beautiful Bill" tax changes, offering a first look at how the new $25,000 tip and $12,500 overtime deductions will impact your 2025 reporting and payroll obligations. We also provide critical updates on the newly restored EEOC quorum, which is set to pivot enforcement toward "unlawful DEI" and national origin protections, alongside a recent $3 million ADA verdict that serves as a high-stakes warning on remote work accommodations. Finally, get the latest on how the current federal funding freeze is temporarily stalling workplace investigations while keeping the courts open for high-profile litigation.
