Why Your Company’s Size Matters
Determining if your company is an applicable large employer (ALE) is critical to understanding which ACA provisions need to be on your checklist.
Comprehensive Health Plan Options
ALE categorization determines whether your company must offer coverage to employees, as defined by the employer shared responsibility mandate. If you have no more than 50 employees*, you may be limited to the ACA "metal level" plans (Gold, Silver and Bronze), which have their own designs and pricing restrictions.
With TriNet medical plans, you:

- Get comprehensive medical coverage through national and regional carriers that includes preventive care, hospitalization, prescription drugs and mental health care
- Receive guidance from our HR team on the benefits and contribution strategies that work for you
Seamless Compliance Reporting
The ACA requires applicable large employers (ALEs) to report offers of medical coverage to their employees, using Forms 1094-C and 1095-C. These forms require accurate reporting data from payroll, benefits and HR systems, and failure to provide correct information may subject you to costly penalties.
