CCAWV has partnered with Dave Barton of Shenandoah Valley Group to roll out a new, free benefit to members: an email series dedicated to a variety of HR topics.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its attendant requirements have complicated the world of HR administration substantially. Do you or the person responsible for your county’s HR administration know if your county is an ALE (applicable large employer)? Does the insurance coverage you are offering qualify as MEC (minimum essential coverage)> Are you familiar with the four approaches to determine MV (minimum value) of coverage? Are you confused yet?

All of these questions, and more, are answered in CCAWV and SVG’s explanation of the Pay or Play benefit. In about four and a half pages of clearly written, easy to digest, layman’s English, this complex rule and its implications are laid out. It gives you (or your HR) coordinator) the terminology necessary to speak to or explain this complicated matter. And that’s just one topic! We are rolling new topics out on a monthly basis. This email series can be filed away and kept as a reference tool for HR managers and employees. The best part? It is completely free to members.

Just send your email address to Megan at megan@ccawv.org and ask to be included in SVG’s monthly email blast. Make sure you and your employees don’t get lost in the maze of federal acronyms and regulations!
