Drop Coverage Maintain Coverage 1Source: The Wall Street Journal. “Deloitte: One in 10 U.S. Employers to Drop Health Coverage.” 24 July 2012. Web. <www.wsj.com>

  11. û Health Plan Administration Did You Know…Beginning in 2014, employers that employed an average of 50 full-time employees during the previous calendar year must offer health coverage that meets minimum essential coverage requirements or pay a fine. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates employers will pay $52 billion over 10 years in penalties for noncompliance.1 This prompts the question:Have you evaluated your administrative procedures and processes to comply with health care reform requirements? Yes No 1Source: U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “Critical Employer Issues in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” Web. <www.uschamber.com>

As a result, it is more difficult for employers to use health benefits as part of their executive compensation package. This prompts the question:Prior to health care reform have you used health benefits as part of your executive compensation package? Yes No
