ACA Administration & Eligibility
As you probably already know, effective January 1, 2014, PPACA- ie National Healthcare requires Staffing Companies with 50+ FTE employees to offer Health insurance or face a tax penalty/excise tax that is not tax deductible. The questions you are probably asking yourself are:
1) Will I be affected by this new law?
2) Do I know how many FTE employees I will have on January 1, 2014?
3) Do I know the cost associated with offering health insurance to my full time employees?
4) Can I offer health coverage that could be less expensive than paying the fines?
5) How will I keep track of all these “new” employees?
6) Should I pay the fines?
We will discuss these questions and present solutions for your consideration.
