The ACA mandates that employers subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provide a notice to employees with information regarding their coverage options, including those available in the Marketplace, by October 1, 2013. The ACA added section 18B to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requiring all employers subject to the FLSA to send the Marketplace Notice.
Employers must send or provide the Notice to all employees, regardless of whether or not they are eligible for or enrolled in coverage under an employer-sponsored health plan. Therefore, employers must send or provide the Marketplace Notice to part-time, seasonal, or temporary employees in addition to sending or providing the Notice to full-time employees. While the initial notification is required to be provided to all current employees by October 1, 2013, employers must also send or provide the notice to new employees hired after October 1, 2013 within 14 days of such employee's date of hire.
Pursuant to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals and employees will be able to access health insurance coverage through a private health insurance market - the Health Insurance Marketplace - beginning on January 1, 2014.
