U.S. House to Vote on “ObamaCare” Employer Mandate Change

Contact Your Elected Officials Today Next week, the House could vote on an important modification to the Affordable Care Act’s (also known as “ObamaCare”) definition of a full-time employee. The law defines full-time employees as those with 30 hours of service per week, which is below the 40-hour standard many employers use today. AGC supports H.R. 2575, the Save American Workers Act, which would replace the definition with a higher standard more in line with current practices – 40 hours of service per week. If the change in the law is adopted, disruptions in the labor markets can be avoided and compliance with the Affordable Care Act will become less complex. Please use AGC’s Legislative Action Center and send a letter to your members of Congress today. For more information, please contact Jim Young at (202) 547-0133 or youngj@agc.org.
