BUSINESS ALERT: NO PENALTY IF YOU MISSED OCTOBER 1 DEADLINE

October 1st was the original deadline for employers to provide their workers with a notice about the state health insurance exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act. Failure to comply could have resulted in fines of up to $100 per day.

The U.S. Department of Labor recently announced that, while companies are required to provide the notice, there will be no fine or penalty under the law for failure to do so.
