The “play or pay” rules under the Affordable Care Act have been in effect for just four months, but many staffing firms already have a preliminary sense of the law’s effect on their business. This week, ASA will launch a survey to collect data on staffing firms’ experiences with the ACA.

Survey results also will be part of the 2015 ASA Staffing Law Conference session, “The ACA Four Months In—What Staffing Firms Need to Know Now.” ASA senior counsel Ed Lenz will share data on the types of health insurance plans staffing firms are offering, employee participation in those plans, the number of employees receiving subsidized coverage in state health exchanges, and how clients have reacted to the new law.

All U.S. staffing firms will be invited to participate in the ACA Compliance Survey. Responses will be kept confidential and reported in aggregate form.
