Determining if your company is an applicable large employer (ALE) is critical to understanding which ACA provisions need to be on your checklist.
ACA Fact Sheets
Get the details you need on ACA’s employer-shared responsibility, so you can steer clear of potential penalties:
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.

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.
