Avoid penalties and rely on experts who have build ACA compliance software that will auto-calculate each employee’s hours of service and your health coverage affordability.
The best way to avoid these penalties is to use fail-safe software that will auto-calculate each employee’s hours of service and the affordability of your healthcare offerings. The software will generate 1095-C forms, completed for each employee.
