Abstract: Next year, “large” employers will have to comply with what’s come to be known as the “play or pay” provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

If they fall short, they then must decide whether it makes sense to boost their health care coverage or risk the penalties of not doing so — that is, to “play or pay.” This article discusses the act’s definition of a “large” employer and how to meet ACA requirements to avoid penalties. A sidebar explains how those penalties work.

A sidebar to this article explores whether it’s a good idea to seek seller protections in this buyer’s market.
