Guidance on Employer Notice Requirement That Takes Effect Oct. 1

Published August 23, 2013 ■ Announcement

The Affordable Care Act requires employers to provide their employees with written notice of any employer health insurance coverage they offer and of the availability of coverage through public health insurance exchanges. The effective date of the notice requirement is Oct. 1, 2013. ASA has published an issue paper that explains the requirement and discusses how staffing firms can comply.

The notice requirement applies to all employers that are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which includes the vast majority of staffing firms. ASA members can access the issue paper at americanstaffing.net.

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index for the U.S. Increases

Published August 23, 2013 ■ Headline News

Conference Board News Release (08/22/13)

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index for the U.S. increased 0.6% in July to 96.0, following no change in June. “The improvement in the LEI, and pickup in the six-month growth rate, suggest better economic and job growth in the second half of 2013. However, the biggest uncertainties remain the pace of business spending and the impact of slower global growth on U.S. exports,” says Ken Goldstein, economist at the Conference Board.

The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index for the U.S. increased 0.2% in July to 106.3, following a 0.1% increase in June. The Conference Board Lagging Economic Index declined 0.2% in July to 118.2, following a 0.2% increase in June.
