I wonder what happened to the waivers that 1000+ companies got. I think they were just for a year.
Mandate backed by FORCE. Totalitarianism is on the march in the republic.
Yep.
What is really going on here is that the IRS is, on its own, rewriting this piece of unconstitutional sh1t as it sees fit in order to subjugate us even more. Which is as unconstitutional as the original law itself.
Re-read the last paragraph.:
The agency specified that employers could still fall under the mandate if they employ enough part-time workers to equal 50 full-time workers. For example, if an employer has 40 full-time workers and 20 part-time workers, that employer would be considered by the government to have 50 full-time workers and would be subject to the mandate because the 20 part-time workers average to 10 full-time workers meeting the 50 full-time-worker threshold.
100 part-time = 50 full time so you're still caught.
Thanks for that quote from Dingell.

DEPOPULATE socialists/totalitarians from the body politic.
This thread is evidence of the misery/plunder THEY have created.
“—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
I would explore the route of subcontractors.
That is , if you are a burger joint, have a counter sales subcontractor. All those on the front line and at the window are employed by XYZ company. Those in production work for DEF company. The only people actually on the company payroll are managers.
Thank you for clarifying, Sirius. :-) So the Congress would be bureaucrat dictators with whom we are familiar? And of course, *everyone* knows HRH & his jester, Joe.
:-( What Constitution?
That is cheating. If you want the same person there for a complete-hour day, be prepared to pay the price.
The rest of the regulation is government interference, but this one part does require a low-moral decision by the employer.
Yes it was
One of my favorite episodes of Little House on The Prairie, had an episode where a tax assessor was roaming the countryside looking at people’s property, before sending them a tax bill.
I remember Charles Ingalls saying, “I work at a loss for years only to have them take my profits on a good year.”
While waiting in line to contest the assessment, someone in the line says, “Next thing you know they’ll be taxing our incomes.”
Someone else in line responds, “That will never happen.”
Had they but lifted their rifles back then!
Interpretation of the IRS rules: Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee.
But wait, Bshaw, that was only a television program.
Wrong. The IRS made up the rule about the number of temp employees being equal to a number of full time employees based on the total hours worked by all. Made it up out of whole cloth.
That's only one example.
I know someone who employs a woman to clean their house, once a week, for 3-4 hours, for $100 (cash, no taxes). This woman doesn't appear to stay always for the full time, has many customers, and cleans multiple houses each day. So, if she cleans an average of 3 houses/day, for 5 days/week, this will earn her ~$1,500/week, without taxes. If she works 47 weeks/year, taking 5wks vacation, she will earn ~$70,500/year with no taxes. To earn that equivalent income, with let's say only 20% taxes would require her to make ~$88,000/year if she were part of the visible economy. Most people making close to $90,000/year probably pay a significant amount more than 20% in taxes, so this woman can earn the purchasing power of someone in a job earning $90,000 or somewhat more per year, while working only 5 days/week and taking 5 weeks vacation.
Yes, I know she probably doesn't always have all of her time slots filled etc., but this type of scenario is not far-fetched. People who cut grass, nannies, house-painters, etc. etc., often have opportunities to get paid ‘under the table’.
Did you miss the other replies?
“That’s only one example.” No doubt.
” as long as they are not hiring the same person through a different agency or to perform two different jobs.”
Next up? If new citizen Jose works 28 hours at Wendy’s, and has another 28 hour job at Burger King, the IRS will classify Jose as a “full-time” worker, and will force Wendy’s and Booger King to split the cost of new citizen Jose’s insurance.
A Wendy's can limit an employee to three shifts per week, and if he's a good employee the manager will trade his name to the Dominoes next door, who will hire him for another three shifts, with the Dominoes manager doing the same for Wendy's.
