1 hr session

ACA requirements haven’t gone away, and year-end is not the time to discover a compliance gap.

For many employers, ACA compliance has become one of those responsibilities running quietly in the background.

Until something goes wrong.

Employee eligibility changes. Hours fluctuate. Your workforce grows. Records aren’t as clean as expected. Reporting deadlines approach. And suddenly, a process you thought was handled raises questions your team needs to answer quickly.

With year-end approaching, now is the time to make sure your organization understands its ACA responsibilities and is prepared for what’s ahead.

Join MP’s HR professionals, for a practical conversation designed to help employers cut through the complexity of the Affordable Care Act and understand where compliance issues can arise.

Don’t Wait Until Reporting Season to Find the Problem

ACA compliance isn’t just about completing forms.

It depends on the information and decisions happening throughout the year—from employee classifications and hours worked to benefit eligibility, coverage offers, payroll data, and recordkeeping.

This webinar will help you understand what to look for, what questions to ask, and where your organization may need to take a closer look before year-end..
