Health Care Reform: Employers’ Workshop

Implementation of the most important parts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is here. Are you ready for 2014? A BusinessWeek report said that while employers "have real-money decisions to make about health care next year, (they) apparently don't grasp the most basic elements of the health reform law.”

What is the ACA trying to do?  What are the new employer requirements? With the one-year delay of the employer "pay or play" penalties, what are your organization's options and how can you plan to avoid or minimize penalties?  These answers are vital to your employees … your CEO … and to you.

Be prepared! Discover a basic understanding of this complex law and learn how to prepare your organization and its employees. Listen to Health Care Reform: Employers' Workshop, which focuses on parts of the ACA that matter to employers in an easy-to-understand format.

Expert attorney Matthew Schenck explains:

• The ACA’s implementation timeline — what you need to know (and by when)
• Current rules already in effect, including tax credits and reporting requirements
• Required changes to your Summary of Benefits and Coverage
• New changes to W-2 reporting of health costs
• A complete explanation of the employer mandate — and an analysis of your three options (keep coverage, purchase it through an exchange or pay the penalty)
• How to calculate FTEs to determine how employer mandate penalties apply to you
• How the insurance exchanges will work, and whether they’re a smart option
• The penalties for noncompliance in 2014, 2015, 2016 and beyond
• A handy Employer Mandate Flowchart to help you make smart compliance decisions
• Practical compliance strategies for any size HR department
• And much more!

The ACA is the most important new benefits law in decades. Having a total grasp of the complex requirements will be vital for your current position — and for any HR or management positions you hold in the future.

Your CEO expects you to understand these huge changes — and to plan and manage your ACA compliance strategy.

If you make any decisions on employee health care at your organization, this session is a great primer for your new duties. You'll walk away with specific recommendations on how to address these important looming changes.

Sincerely,
