Navigating the intricacies of healthcare, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the strict compliance standards that come with it during Open Enrollment can easily overwhelm the HR administrators in charge of the process. The data required for ACA compliance can be one of the most time-depleting and aggravating operations they can undertake.
If you’re not using a smart ACA Compliance system, you’ve probably found the experience of ACA’s enrollment and reporting requirements to be stressful, time-consuming or confusing – and you’re not alone. The stakes have never been higher for your employees and company’s bottomline.
The solution for high-performing HR teams continues to move toward an automated, cloud-based system. A solid ACA Compliance Software, like ours, has these benefits:
1. The Most Up-to-Date 1094 and 1095 Forms
The federal government’s required 1094 and 1095 forms can change at any time, and with a compliance-focused software like ours, the forms will always be updated so you don’t run the risk of submitting the wrong version. It’s all in the cloud, updating seamlessly from behind the scenes.
