As you may remember, business owners were supposed to release information to their employees about the new healthcare options that would be available to them come 1/1/14 (I believe the date for notification was 3/1/13, but was pushed back indefinitely when the date got near because they had no guidance available.)
Well, the guidance is here: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/newsroom/tr13-02.html <Official news release
Employer offers coverage> http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/FLSAwithplans.pdf
Employer DOESN'T offer coverage>
http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/FLSAwithoutplans.pdf
There is nothing groundbreaking or unexpected in these forms.
"Employers are required to provide the notice to each new employee at the time of hiring beginning October 1, 2013. For 2014, the Department will consider a notice to be provided at the time of hiring if the notice is provided within 14 days of an employee’s start date. " Current employees must receive the document by 10/1/13.
