- Excerpt from Affordable Care Act: Fees and Taxes 2015: Employer Shared Responsibility Fee:

• The employer shared responsibility fee is to encourage employers to offer health coverage or pay an amount to subsidize coverage through an exchange

• Two penalties:

• Big penalty

– If employer does not offer minimum essential coverage (“MEC”) to

95% of full-time employees (“FTs”); and

– 1 employee enrolls on exchange and receives subsidy

– Penalty is $2,000 x (number of employees – 30)

• Not as big penalty

– If employer does offer MEC to at least 95% of FTs, but coverage is

not both (a) minimum value, and (b) affordable; and

– 1 employee enrolls on exchange and receives subsidy

– $3,000 x number of employees who go to the exchange for

coverage and qualify for premium subsidy or cost sharing

– Capped at big penalty
