At the Nonprofit HR Conference, Sidney will present on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The reforms to our nation’s healthcare function are in the process of being reformed. The “Pay or Play” debate slated to take effect in 2014 has to be worked through by all organizations in the coming months, dependent upon when your organization’s benefits plan year begins. Join us to drill into the ACA and look for some answers for your organization.
