Sage 300 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Overview

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), and the amendments made by the
Healthcare and Reconciliation Act, together known as the “Affordable Care Act”—or “ACA.”
The ACA contains healthcare responsibilities for employers based on the number of employees in
an organization. Employers with 50 or more full time employees (or a combination of part time and
full time equivalent (FTE) employees equal to 50 full time employees) are subject to the Employer
Shared Responsibility provisions of the ACA.
Under the Employer Shared Responsibility provisions, if these employers do not offer affordable
health coverage that provides a minimum level of coverage to their full-time employees (and their
dependents), the employer may be subject to an Employer Shared Responsibility payment.
