10 CommonCompliance Traps

and How to Avoid Them

Trap #1: Mind the Act


The law requires all Americans to have health coverage by 2014 or pay a per month fee without coverage



All full-time workers who work for companies with over 50 employees must be offered job based health coverage by 2015



All full-time workers who work for companies with over 50 employees must be offered job based health coverage by 2015

A firm can avoid the mandate by having fewer than 50 people working full-time or by limiting scheduled hours to less than 30 hours per week


First, if you are hiring more workers to stay below the 30-hour per week threshold, make sure you are staying compliant.

Second, use scheduling software to track the number of hours worked - particularly for those part-time employees who are hovering around the 30 hour per week mark.
