AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE ACT

11/23/2013

This week I gave a lecture on what a small business needs to do to comply with the new Affordable Healthcare Act.  If your business has under 50 employees, the surprising answer is....not much!  A business with less than 50 employees is not required to provide health care coverage. 

If the employer is covered by Fair Labor Standards Act, then one must provide notification to their employees about the new Health Insurance Marketplace; inform employees that they may be eligible for a premium tax credit if they purchase coverage through the Marketplace and advise employees that if they employee purchase a plan through the Marketplace, they may lose the employer contribution (if any) to any health benefits plan offered by  the employer.  This notice must also provide to all new employees going forward.
To get a copy of the notice you should send, go to the Department of Labor's website.

Presentation: Obamacare and the Small Business: What You Must Know Now

Join Philly Small Business Lawyer Sarah E. Holmes on Tuesday November 12, 2013 from 10:00-11:30 am for a discussion of what every small business owner must know about the new Affordable Care Act.

Many people mistakenly believe that "Obamacare" has been repealed.  This is not true, but there is so much confusion about the current state of the law and what a small business owner is required to do.

Join me at the Transfer Station East in Manayunk (old Restoration Hardware).  This event is free, but advance registration is required.

OBAMACARE AND THE SMALL BUSINESS

9/26/2013

0 Comments

 
"Obamacare," or the Affordable Care Act as it's really called, has a myriad of confusing provisions and if you are a small business owner, you may be confused as to your obligations and deadlines.

The requirements vary depending on how many employees a business has.  We found a great resource at the SBA website for those with fewer than 25 employees.  The site lays out requirements for small businesses with fewer than 25 and those with over 50 employees.  A major upcoming deadline is the Oct. 1 deadline to provide employees with the required notice of the new Health Insurance Marketplace.  Any employer covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must provide this notice to employees.  Two sample notices can be found on the SBA website, depending on whether the employer offers health insurance coverage or not.

I will soon be hosting an informational breakfast in Manayunk for small business owners and their obligations under the Act.  Watch this site for details!
