Group employment expert explains upcoming vote on H.R. 3798 and why it\u2019s a shame that more Americans aren\u2019t aware of this crucial bill<\/em><\/p>\n

\"ACA\"The Senate could vote this week on a bill which would take apart a good deal of President Obama\u2019s Affordable Care Act, including a key piece of legislation which required employers to offer health insurance to all employees who work 30 hours or more per week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe average American doesn\u2019t know too much about H.R. 3798, and that\u2019s a shame, because I can\u2019t think of a vote which would have a larger impact on employees\u2019 pay and their workdays,\u201d says Rob Wilson, group employment expert and President of Employco USA, a national employment-solutions firm which helps companies of all sizes to run more effectively.<\/p>\n

Wilson says that H.R. 3798 will reverse President Obama\u2019s prior legislation which required all full-time employees to be offered health insurance\u2026and, then defined full-time employment as workers who put in 30-hours a week.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people in the industry were surprised with the thirty-hour-a-week legislation,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cForty-hours-a-week has always been considered full-time in American businesses of all industries, so it seemed a bit arbitrary. Unfortunately, it also had a negative impact on employees. Employers slashed workers\u2019 hours to keep them under the 30-hour mark and avoid paying for their health insurance, meaning that these workers had to supplement their pay by getting another job. In essence, many employees wound up working 2 nearly full-time jobs, and still without company-provided health insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wilson says that if the Senate votes to pass H.R. 3798 and the House later follows suit, it could spell big news for employees who suffered under the 30-hour ruling, as they may find that their hours are bumped up as a result.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmployers will win out as well,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cAs part of this bill, any employers who were fined for not paying for health insurance for workers who put in 30-hours or more a week will have their penalties retroactively forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n
