[WSBARP] Health Insurance for Employees

[Roger Hawkes]

There is no requirement to buy insurance for employees of small firms.  I sure want to know about it if anyone has any cites that appear to say otherwise.

Listmates,

It was my understanding that if you have full time employees you must provide them health insurance, even though my one member pllc does not buy my family's insurance.  We just hired a "'part-time" employee because we can't afford paying for more insurance.  My accountant does not believe we need to provide such insurance because we are under 8 employees and the company does not purchase it for my family.  I thought the Washington Supreme Court imposes most, if not all, employee laws on all employers, regardless of size.

The other question the accountant and I don't agree on is what is the number of hours a "part-time" employee can work and retain that status?

Your experiences in this area would be greatly appreciated.
