Buck Consultants Explains ACA 90-Day Waiting Period

In "Final regulations permit one-month orientation period", Buck Consultants, a Xerox Company explains that:

"The Departments recently issued final regulations on the maximum length of an employment-based orientation period for purposes of the ACA’s 90-day waiting period limit. Specifically, the final regulations permit an orientation period of no longer than one month, and measure that month by adding one calendar month and subtracting one calendar day from an employee’s start date. Additionally, the Departments clarified that compliance with the orientation period rules does not guarantee compliance with the employer shared responsibility requirement. The rules apply to plan years beginning on January 1, 2015. Plan sponsors should review their employee orientation periods in light of these final regulations."
