Running a successful business isn’t all about profits. You also have to manage risk. While you may keep a close eye on the more obvious processes, like manufacturing processes for product recalls, for example, some risks are less apparent. Growth often means hiring new employees and, if you aren’t keeping an eye on your headcount, you might find yourself in violation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Yes, though it may be unpopular with the current presidential administration, it is still very much in place – especially the employer mandate.
Profits, Losses, Growth and Risk
Business owners and the c-suite have many priorities demanding their attention. Profits, losses, growth and risk are always on the mind of your leadership team. With the right business management system in place, you can gain both insight and control over financial operations, sales and marketing and other key business functions. The data will show when it’s time to increase production, add product lines or expand operations.
Don’t Let Growth Become A Risk
Increasing headcount is generally a good thing. You need people to support a growing business, it’s just that simple. However, you may not realize that increasing headcount also opens your business up to additional regulatory rules and oversight – such as the ACA. When you are approaching the threshold of 50 employees, it’s time to determine where your business fits into the existing ACA employer mandate and determine what you need to do next.
Prepare for ACA Compliance to Avoid Penalties
ACA compliance is a business-critical priority that demands more attention than you might think. There is a significant amount of data that requires collection, evaluation and oversight. On top of all that, data must be reported to the IRS and there are costly penalties should data management and reporting go awry.
