2015 50 FTE Employees or More? Or Was it Postponed Until 2016?
Can you please confirm the requirement for Year 2015 If you have more than 50 FTE then 95% employees must have health care? please confirm
Answer
The requirement is waived for 2015. Those with 100 or more FTE need to insure 70% of full-time by 2015. 50 FTE must insure 95% by 2016.
See employer mandate for details.
ps. Nothing wrong with employers stepping up to the plate early. It gives them, at the very least, a practice year to make sure they avoid the fee and get a good deal on coverage for 2016. But to confirm, the mandate was pushed back and the IRS issued transition relief.
