Webinar: Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act: Employer Considerations and Responsibilities

Starting In 2014, an employer with 50 or more full-time employees that does not contribute sufficiently towards it group health plan and provide affordable minimum essential health benefits to its employees may become subject to substantial excise tax. This rule also applies to employers having full-time equivalent employees ( combining part-time, variable, and seasonal employees).

These rules are complex and the decision whether to “play or pay” involves many factors and should be made on a case-by-case basis. In fact, some employers should have already started tracking employee hours worked. Each employer must weigh the financial, business, and personnel consequences of its decisions in this regard.

This webinar will provide an overview of these new rules, analysis of their impact, and planning strategies.

Because open enrollment for State insurance exchanges begins on October 1, 2013, it is prudent to consider these issues as soon as possible as the resolution of these issues will affect your company’s health care package as of January 1, 2014.
