Holiday Helpers

The Affordable Care Act has brought many changes for employers and employees alike.  For those employers that qualify as an ALE--that is an Applicable Large Employer, the designation alone leads to the application of employer shared responsibility provisions as well as employer reporting.   The benchmark is at 50 full-time employees, but what do you do with seasonal help?   The rule is the following:  If your workforce exceeds 50 full-time employees for 120 days or fewer during a calendar year, and the employees in excess are deemed seasonal workers, your organization is not considered an ALE.

We wish all of you from Caughey, Legner, & Freehill, a Happy Thanksgiving!
