Paychex identifies top regulatory issues for SMBs in 2025

Paychex Inc. released its annual list of top regulatory issues that small- and medium-sized businesses should be watching in 2025.

Among them are taxes and tax credits, retirement, paid leave, wage and hour developments, and artificial intelligence and privacy.

With a new administration entering the White House and many new faces in other federal leadership positions starting in January, as well as a breakneck pace of technological innovation across the globe, 2025 is bound to be an impactful year for most businesses,” said Kelee Delaney, director of compliance risk at Paychex.

She noted that keeping up and complying with changing laws is perennially a top challenge for small businesses.

“Our annual list is designed to help them focus on what is likely to have the most significant impact on their business, their employees and their bottom line,” Delaney said.

A team of in-house compliance and government relations experts at Paychex continually monitors laws and regulations at federal, state and local levels to develop educational content for customers and update the company’s cloud-based SaaS solution.
