The careful tailoring of work hours to avoid healthcare requirements was a thing long, long before the ACA.
- gozur88 9y agoNot in the US. Prior to the ACA there was no requirement to give FTEs health care.
- sdenton4 9y agoIncorrect. It seems mandates were state-by-state prior to the ACA, and certainly existed. Here's a quickly dredged up citation. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2014/09/16/348956212/health-law-tempers-states-insurance-mandates https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2014/09/16/3489562...
- gozur88 9y agoWhat are you citing? There's nothing in that article about hours or benefits that accrue to FTEs only. Did you even read it?
- Spooky23 9y agoIn the dark red states, sure. Not everywhere. Most places added those requirements 30 years ago. It’s not just health care. Intrusive regulation like requiring a nominal amount of paid sick leave is mandated in my state over a certain number of hours. (32 iirc)
- gozur88 9y agoBy "not everywhere" you mean... Massachusetts? Benefits like paid sick leave are rounding errors compared to health care.
