ACA Regulatory Updates Prompt New AGC Webinar

Wed, 06/04/2014 - 09:44

There’s no question that compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will be multifaceted and cumbersome, and U.S. Department of Labor continues to issue regulations that will govern the complex law.  These regulations will likely impact the bottom line of every covered construction company.  AGC’s webinar, Affordable Care Act Update for Construction Employers, will provide employers with the latest and greatest information regarding the ACA, how it will impact construction companies, and how construction companies should prepare. The webinar will be held on June 24 from 2:00-3:30 PM EDT and is just $79 for AGC members and $99 for non-members. Topics to be covered during the webinar include but are not limited to: 

• Clarifications of the employer mandate requirements of the ACA;
• Details of the transition relief provided by the employer mandate final regulations;
• Updates and initiatives involving the use of seasonal workers as they relate to ACA compliance;
• Impact on employers that contribute to multiemployer health plans;
• Details of new employer reporting requirements; and
• Outcome of final regulations for 90-day waiting period limitations.

Last year, attorneys Jack Widman and Mark Levengood of Susanin Widman & Brennan presented the ACA’s compliance requirements for construction employers during AGC’s three-part webinar series.  The three-part series provided details of the employer mandate requirements including who is a covered employer, determining large employer status, and more. Widman and Levengood will be returning to provide an update on the information that was provided during that webinar, now that final regulations have been issued.  As a bonus, all registrants will receive complimentary on-demand access to the three-part series to watch prior to attending the update webinar. In addition to regulatory updates, much is occurring with regard to the use of seasonal workers and the ACA – a topic specifically of interest to construction employers.  During the webinar, James Young, AGC’s Director of Congressional Relations, will share specifics of the legislative activity that is taking place with regard to seasonal workers and the ACA.
