51·çÁ÷ recently hosted a webinar to educate construction contractors on the latest regulations that implement the employer mandates of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The webinar, , is a follow-up to 51·çÁ÷’s 2013 webinar series, The Affordable Care Act: The Impact of Health Care Reform on Your Construction Business. A recording of the webinar is available in the .
During the webinar, Jack Widman, Mark Levengood and Jennifer Abrams, attorneys and employee benefits specialists with the law firm of Susanin Widman & Brennan, P.C, shared information to help construction contractors avoid the legal pitfalls of compliance with the complex law. The attorneys provided much-needed clarifications of the employer mandate requirements, details of the transition relief provided by the employer mandate final regulations, details of the new employer reporting requirements, clarification of the 90-day waiting period limitations, and more.
Much of the webinar focused on the application of the law to seasonal workers and employers who contribute to multi-employer health plans – a topic specifically of interest to construction employers that operate on a union basis. 51·çÁ÷ Director of Congressional Relations Jim Young added to the discussion by sharing information about 51·çÁ÷’s advocacy efforts with regard to seasonal workers and multi-employer health plans.Â
The webinar was pre-approved for 1.5 general recertification credits by the HR Certification Institute (HRCI), the internationally recognized leader in human resource certification.
