Experts caution on cutting hours to avoid ACA

Now that the employer mandate is taking effect at the beginning of the year, and business with over 100 employees will have to offer health insurance to full-time employees or pay a fine, some companies are considering capping or cutting back hours so that workers have 29 or less hours a week, keeping them in part-time status. While that may seem like a reasonable alternative and well-within the rights of employers to manage their workforce, lawyers are warning that this could expose employers to class action liability.
