Is Less Than 30 Hours Part-Time Under ObamaCare?

My new employer just informed me that I will need to work 30hrs a week in order to be covered 100% by them. If they wanted me to work only 25hrs a week, could they still offer to pay my insurance 100% by it just being their choice? Rather the rule being 30 hrs they must offer, instead, they want to do it for less than 30hrs. a week.

I have worked at a Union establishment (Hotel) for close to 11 years. The Hours are rotated on a 40 hour descending rotation from top to bottom in seniority. However, the Union instituted an new rule that all hours for the top of the list be utilized to keep those with Health Care to keep their benefits, however, we have missed benefits by one or two hours several cycles. All they have to maintain is 22.5 nevertheless this unionized contract amendment has blocked us from any chance of ever obtaining Health care we have had to pay 9,000.00 in mandate ACA fines. If the hours were monitored we would have qualified for the minimum hours to obtain health care. How do we address this issue

A 5 year Contracted Security Guard works 182 days a year, September 01 to June 22.
He is laid off each year from June 23 to August 31.The employer offers Health coverage again in September which begins in October. The Employee works 160 hours in October but only works 112 hours in November and December can the employer stop their coverage in December and January even though the rest of the year from January to June they work 160 hours a month? So the employee works an average of 32 hours a week but not in December and January? Thanks

Im 65 covered by my wifes Co. health ins work 32 hrs a week don’t need health ins from current employer they are telling me I have to reduce my hours according to ACA .Bunch of Bull shit I only want to work not have any benefits they need the help.

I work for the State of Delaware part time. I am 72 and they will not let me work over 29 1/2 hours a week. I have explained to them I do not need insurance from Delaware, I am on Medicare. They are concerned they will be fined. Who is correct?

I have been retired 3 years but still working for the same health care facility on a per diem basis. They want me to work a definite 10 hours a week but change my status to part time. Is that something that is decided by each company or are there laws pertaining to a minimum numbers of hours that would be considered part time. I’d really like to stay per diem, no obligations other than the actual job whereas in a part time position I’d be subject to more rules, testing, etc. and no real flexibility with those hours. Is this something I might negotiate or are there laws they’re obligated to follow?

Does a company with 90 to 100 full time employees get penalized if an employee works less than 40 hours, but not less than 32 hours?

As a company with less than 50 employees, we offers and pays for individual coverage for any of our employees that want it, regardless of how many hours they work. Some of these employees work less that 30 hours per week. Is this a problem? If the plan offered is ACA compliant, does that mean we can only offer insurance to employees that work over the 30 hour ACA threshold? Even if we are exempt from the ACA.

If an employee’s regular schedule is 30 hours a week, and they take a few unpaid vacation days off within a month, are the unpaid vacation days counted against the employee’s monthly requirement for maintaining benefits eligibility? If so, would the employee need to make up those hours in order to not compromise their eligibility status? Thank you

If you work more than 120 days in a year, but less than 30 hours a week, are you considered part-time or full-time?

This Q&A did not address my question. I have an employer saying that the ACA prohibits it from offering coverage to employees that work fewer than 30 hours a week and I had never heard that and wanted to confirm it.

My co worker is part timer but he worked 5 days in a week and 2 days off is that legal even he is only a new part timer employee?

Is it legal for an employer to offer health insurance to employees who work less than 30 hours per week if they so choose?

Is the Obama Care 30 hours per week the new Full Time Work Week. What about those who are currently working with the same employer at 40 hours per week with one hour unpaid lunch for a total of 35 hours per week. Should they be brought back down to a 30 hour work week.

I am a meat associate at a Walmart market place in Chesapeake Virginia and I have been working between 32 and 40 hours per week for the past 8 months. The last time I averaged all of my worked hours listed on my paystubs was nearly 2 months ago and it came out to be 34.5 hours per week.

I am being called part time by the managers in the store and was told that only full time associates can get medical benefits. I have been using the healthcare marketplace benefits to the maximum amount possible and I am afraid of what will happen to me come 2017 tax season. The store manager consistently uses nepotism as she is not the original store manager that opened the store 2 years ago. I was promised by my former assistant manager that I would be given a full time position shortly 7 months ago and the store manager pushed it off for months. When I finally pushed the topic she ended up hiring a personal friend of hers that she worked with in the distant past and gave him my position. Among other issues she and her crew are using fear tactics to force myself and others to bend to their rule.

Help?

How do Obamacare regulations (such as the 30 hr mandate for providing insurance) apply to the public sector? For example, does a fire station have to provide employees with health insurance?
If so, does the “way around” being offered coverage apply to the public sector?

Does the employer have the choice of how many hours are considered full time? Could full-time be 40 hours a week for a company over 50 employees?
We have always been told that we were exempted because it’s a home health agency and the employees are per-diem. The nurses get to choose what they want to work. They are considered “per-Diem” . Now we are told otherwise.
We are offering it because of fear of getting fined but for the small business having to carry it is really killing us.
Some insurance say full time is 30 hours while others are telling us the employer can decided hat is full-time and it could be anyone over 40 hours.

So here is the recurrent question for far too many workers: how to meet living expenses on less than 30 hours a week!
For instance, my college graduate son is less than 26 years old so is covered under our insurance plan. However he cannot afford rent, utilities, groceries, gas, parking on the 27 hours a week he is scheduled. He budgets extremely frugally, and is eager and able to work more. The employer needs more hours covered, and sometimes staff have emergencies or conflicts and need shifts coverage. But no one ,though willing, can help because it will put them over the 30 hour mark.
Having health insurance is not the problem here – having sufficient work hours to meet living expenses is!!

For the first 3 months of 2016 I have an employee who will work 130 hours per month. The rest of the year they will work 100 hours per month. If I offer insurance coverage and pay a portion of the costs can I decline coverage for the employee for the remainder of the year since they are part time?
