Definition of Key Terms
An ALE is any employer that employs 50 or more
full-time employees or FTEs in the preceding
calendar year.
Under the ACA, a full-time employee is one who
works at least 30 hours per week or 130 hours per
month.
A health plan meets minimum value if it covers at
least 60 of the total allowed costs of benefits
provided under the plan.

Compliance Requirements
They must provide insurance to full-time
employees and their dependents.
Employers must ensure that the insurance premium
does not exceed.
ALEs are required to report their health coverage
offerings to the IRS annually.
Forms 1094-C and 1095-C are used for this
purpose, detailing the coverage provided.

Implications for Employers
Employers must invest time and resources into
understanding and complying with ACA
requirements.
Employers that fail to comply with the mandate
may incur penalties.
Offering group health insurance can be a crucial
factor in attracting and retaining talent.
The mandate may also lead employers to reevaluate
their health insurance offerings.
