A comprehensive, technical instruction on the fundamental concepts and responsibilities of employers under the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). This seminar will focus upon recent IRS publications, including the Proposed Regulations, to help employers implement the ACA and apply practical solutions to the workplace challenges the ACA presents.
Concepts
In this initial part of the program, the attendees will be introduced to the concepts of shared responsibility under the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”); the obligations employees have under the shared responsibility concept; learn how to identify whether an employer is an applicable large or small employer; recognize when workers are common law employees under the Proposed Regulations; and learn about the unique issues raised by controlled and affiliated service group employers, temporary workers, and leased employees. This portion of the program will also introduce the two different types of penalties that may be assessed upon applicable large employers under ACA.
Bring the Right Tools to the Hunt
This portion of the program will teach methods the Proposed Regulations describe for counting employees in the regular schedule; variable schedule and new employee scenarios. The presentation will cover safe harbors available for the determination whether a plan is “affordable” under the ACA; and will discuss the manner in which penalty liability will attach in various employment scenarios; how employers will be notified of penalties; and how penalties will be calculated.
This segment of the program will wrap up with a brief discussion of the Regulations on Wellness programs; the Whistleblower provisions of the ACA and how discrimination and retaliation causes of under Title VII, the ADEA and the Rehabilitation Act are linked to healthcare reform under the ACA under the Proposed Regulations
Panel Discussion and Q&A: Controlling the ACA Beast
In this segment of the program, representatives and compliance officers of area companies will join the attorney presenters for a practical discussion of ACA challenges and potential solutions to those challenges. The attendees will be provided the opportunity to ask questions pertinent to their company situations and listen to both the legal and business answers.

2014 SD SHRM Conference

April 30, May 1-2 at the
Convention Center, Sioux Falls
Hosted by SESHRM
Congratulations, SESHRM!

On behalf of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), I want to congratulate your chapter for its achievement of attaining Membership Star status for 2012!
Even though our economy continues to be challenging, your chapter was able to overcome these challenges and still advance SHRM membership in 2012. Many chapters experienced declining membership during the year, so your chapter's ability to maintain or realize growth is to be highly commended.
As the economy continues to bounce back, we hope you will see continued growth in SHRM membership. The membership growth goal remains at 3% for 2013.
We also hope that you will continue to share best practices with your peers. In addition, your SHRM regional team is available to provide you information and guidance to support your membership initiatives.
Congratulations again on this achievement! Keep up the great work, and thanks for all you do!
All the best!
