Employers are not required to provide health plans. The issue is that Uber provides _some_ employees with health plans while keeping their lower-paid workers classified as contractors, even if they work essentially full-time.
- seanmcdirmid 6y ago> Employers are not required to provide health plans. Employers are required to provide health plans to any part or full time employees (excluding contractors) who work more than 30 hours a week.
- lmeyerov 6y agoAs soon as you're 50+ folks, you're required to provide health insurance. The US system is broken enough that you will do it before then too. All founders I've talked with about it find it crazy that they're determining the healthcare choices for their team, and it's much worse when they are supporting a diverse team. """Fred has 3 kids and cares about their dental, Tim mostly cares about mental health, Alice runs ultramarathons, and Bob just got married. The main things we have in common are we like building cryptocurrency tech and work in similar time zones."""
