Scrutiny for Compliance Continues

Guidance from the IRS states that companies with a common owner, or which are otherwise related generally are comibined for the purposes of determining whether they employe 50 full-time employees (or an equivalent combination of full-time and part-time employees).

If the combined total meets the threshold, then each separate company is required to comply with the Affordable Care Act — even those companies that individually do not employ enough FTEs to meet the threshold.
