2 Agenda 1. ACA Employer Shared Responsibility 2. Review 3. Appointment Changes (Revised) 4. Periods Without Hours 2
3 Affordable Care Act of 2010 Employer Shared Responsibility Under the ACA UC is required to offer medical insurance to substantially all full-time employees Full-Time under the ACA means working 30 or more average weekly hours of service Medical Insurance offered needs to meet the ACA definition of Minimum Essential Value Core Meets this requirement 3
4 Affordable Care Act of 2010 Employer Shared Responsibility Failure to comply: PENALTIES!! The A Penalty If UC fails to offer medical coverage to the required percentage of full-time employees, and even one full-time employee who was not offered coverage enrolls in a plan on the ACA Marketplace and receives a premium tax credit or cost-sharing reduction from the government; the annual penalty to UC would be $2,000 times the total number of full-time employees in the UC workforce = $220 Million Systemwide The B Penalty If UC offers coverage that is neither affordable nor provides minimum value; the penalty is based on the number of employees who actually enroll in a plan on the ACA Marketplace and receive a premium tax credit or cost-sharing reduction from the government 4
