Few employers dropping hours to skirt ACA rules

Published 3 Min Read

As the Affordable Care Act last week celebrated its five-year anniversary, the majority of employers say they have not considered reducing hours for part-time employees as a result of the law’s mandate that employees working 30 hours a week be offered health care coverage.

In response to ACA requirements, nearly 20% of U.S. employers have either reduced hours for employees they consider to be part-time or plan to do so, while 79% have not, according to new research from the Society for Human Resource Management.
