Implementing Health Care Reform Workshop

You have heard about Health Care Reform and you want to know what you need to do to keep your company in compliance with the new laws. Now is the time to tackle what this landmark law really means for your organization, particularly with regard to changes that go into effect as early as this Fall.

The President signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) on March 23, 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA) a week later.   This law impacts all employers. The Act imposes stiff penalties on employers with more than 50 full-time employees who fail to offer qualifying health coverage to certain full-time employees.  The Act also provides small-business tax credits for qualified small employers.

What Will the Workshop Address?

This workshop will present a detailed look at specific actions H.R. professionals need to take in the areas of plan design and administration; the financial aspects of complying with the new law, and necessary, clear, correct, and timely communication with your workforce.
