The Society for Human Resource Management also found that about one in five small businesses are reducing workers' hours to part time because they are not required to offer coverage for employees who work less than 30 hours per week. These part-time employees are eligible for subsidized coverage in the new health insurance exchanges offered through the ACA [http://www.ncpa.org/pub/st356].
→Small Businesses with More than Fifty Employees
According to a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management of more than 600 small business owners:
*More than four out of ten small business owners "have delayed hiring due to uncertainty about the effects of the Affordable Care Act"ACA [http://www.ncpa.org/pub/st356].*One in five small business owners reported that they have cut their number of employees[http://www.ncpa.org/pub/st356]
Companies with between 50 to 99 employees are required to provide health insurance coverage to their employees, but the penalties imposed for not complying with the ACA requirements were delayed until 2016. The penalty for companies with more than 99 employees was delayed until 2015. As a result of these delays, it is not entirely possible to fully understand and analyze the exact effects of the ACA on small businesses that are required to provide health insurance to its employees.
