If the federal government considers your organization an applicable large employer (ALE), you’re subject to specific Affordable Care Act (ACA) rules. Navigating the ACA can be difficult, especially if it’s your first time. But, understanding the employer mandate is especially important to avoid steep penalties. The employer mandate requires ALEs to offer employee health coverage that meets specific affordability and value standards.

The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best.

I was chatting to somebody last week about the person in the US who died at their desk, unnoticed for over four days. The instinctive and understandable response was to ask if the story is apocryphal. Sadly, not. Sixty-year-old Denise Prudhomme had clocked into work at the Arizona office of Wells Fargo at 7 am on Friday, August the 16th. Her death some time that day went unnoticed until the following Tuesday afternoon, when a colleague discovered her body slumped over her desk in a cubicle.
