Many employers have spent the last several years trying to understand the intricacies and nuances of the Affordable Care Act. The various delays in the roll-out, which have been underscored in recent weeks with the problems associated with the launch of the website, have done nothing to quiet the air of uncertainty that surrounds the Act. Further, while the delay of the employer mandate last summer provided a temporary respite, this also has only added to the growing number of headaches employers face in keeping up with the necessary deadlines and requirements.
The Kaiser Foundation has a useful online resource that keeps tabs on the latest developments and the pending deadlines – including those affecting employers. If you have not looked at it, give it a try. The main site can be found at http://kff.org.
The implementation deadlines applicable to employers are particularly useful, and can be found here.
