rocknrolls2 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Employer X is offering to provide medical coverage to its part-time employees. Does it have to be affordable for purposes of health care reform? I am inclined to say no since the employer responsibility provisions and taxes apply solely with respect to full-time employees of the employer. Am I missing anything?

Flyboyjohn Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 No, you're not missing anything. And not only does it not have to be affordable it also doesn't have to meet minimum value. So a "skinny" (MEC) plan ($50/month) might be attractive since it avoids the employer penalty in case the employer has misclassified the employee as "part-time" and if the employee takes it he avoids the individual penalty.
