Mandatory Employer Notification of the Health Insurance Marketplace

All employers subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act with at least one employee, must provide a health insurance marketplace/exchange notification to each employee, regardless of part-time or full-time status.  This includes employers who currently offer health insurance benefits, as well as those who do not.  This notification is required to be issued no later than October 1, 2013 for current employees and must be provided to new hires within 14 days of an employee's start date.

The Department of Labor has developed two model exchange notices to satisfy the notification requirements.  The first model exchange notice is for employers who offer a health plan.  The second model exchange notice is for employers who do not offer a health plan.  For your convenience we have also provided an optional cover letter to assist in explaining the notice to your employees.

The notification may be distributed in person, via First Class mail, or electronically in compliance with the Department of Labor's electronic disclosure safe harbor requirements.  Plea>
