Mercer Select's Guide to Affordable Care Act Employer Shared Responsibility image

Starting in 2015, employers with a sufficient number of employees working in the US must "play" by offering each full-time employee health coverage meeting certain standards or risk paying IRS assessments. The first assessments are due in 2016. Employers also must provide annual reports with coverage information to employees and to IRS. Whether you’re just starting to develop your play-or-pay strategy or well on your way to compliance, clear understanding of the complex rules is essential.
