Many employers pulled back their pace of implementation as the court deliberated; now they are faced with implementation in a shorter amount of time. Changes include new enforcement of nondiscrimination rules by the IRS, additional subsidization of some insurance and new W-2 reporting requirements. As the article notes, HR is the place employees will naturally turn first with their questions about any changes associated with the Act, so HR staff will need to get up to speed on the details - quickly!
