QUESTION: I own an amusement park in Maine. I am the sole owner and the company is an LLC taxed as an S-corporation. I do not currently offer health insurance to my employees. Besides myself, I have 5 employees who work year-round. But during the 2015 busy season between May 1 and Labor Day (September 7, 2015), I employed an additional 48 people, all of whom work 40 hrs/wk. I have heard that there is an exemption in ObamaCare for seasonal employees. Do I have to include these employees in my calculation to determine if I am an “Applicable Large Employer”?

ANSWER: YES, YOU DO.

Question: I know that ObamaCare’s Employer Mandate requires employers with 50 or more employees to offer health coverage to their full-time employees starting on January 1, 2016. My wife and I own two different LLCs – my interior design business and her plumbing company. The interior design business has 15 employees and the plumbing company has 38 employees. Because both companies are under 50, we don’t have to worry about the Employer Mandate, do we?
