Attendance on Demand Releases Report on Affordable Care Act
Livonia, Michigan (PRWEB) February 25, 2014 -- Attendance on Demand announces the release of a report on how to effectively use the latest Affordable Care Act (ACA) employer mandate delay. The ACA employer mandate was delayed until January 1, 2015, for organizations with 100 or more employees. Smaller employers have more breathing room. For employers with between 50 and 99 employees, compliance is further delayed until January 1, 2016.
Large employers face sizeable penalties if they do not offer insurance to at least 70% of full-time employees in 2015 and 95% of full-time employees in 2016 and beyond. But under the Act, who is entitled to receive benefits? How can employers easily track and manage employee eligibility?
Large employers need a strategy now; employee hours in 2014 determine employer liability in 2015.
What should employers do to prepare?
1. Establish measurement, administrative, and stability periods according to the IRS’s safe harbor determination process.
2. View 2014 as a “test period” for reporting systems, ensuring easy ability to capture and report on the information required by the IRS prior to 2015.
The latest ACA report from Attendance on Demand “The Affordable Care Act: Use the Delay Wisely” provides employers with the real story on:
•Best practices for establishing measurement, administrative, and stability periods
•Understanding the IRS's safe harbor determination process
•How organizations can take best advantage of the delay
“This report helps businesses prepare for the upcoming changes and make them aware of the ways a robust time and attendance system can help,” said Beth Baerman, Communications Director at Attendance on Demand.
