Question for the guru's on the new health care law. How is the 50 employees requirement defined?
Full Time Equivalent?
Just 50 Employees on the Payroll?
I have a group with 40 full time equivalent employees, but over 100 on the payroll total with many only working a few hours a month. We are trying to figure out if they will be subjected to the penalty if they do not offer a group plan and instead, just send the employees to the state exchange with an HRA reimbursment since most are $10 to $15/hour employees.
Also, does anyone know if there is a minimum hour requirement an employee must work where the employer has to provide coverage vs. paying the penalty for that employee?
