How do I know if I am a small or large employer? Why does it matter?
An employer’s size is determined by the number of its employees. Employer benefits, opportunities and requirements are dependent upon the employer’s size and the applicable rules. Generally, an employer with 50 or more full-time employees or equivalents will be considered an applicable large employer.
Employers with:
- Fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees may be eligible for a Small Business Health Care Tax Credit to help cover the cost of providing coverage.
- Generally 50 or fewer employees may be eligible to buy coverage through the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). Learn more at HealthCare.gov.
- 50 or more full-time equivalent employees will need to file an annual information return reportingwhether and what health insurance they offered employees. In addition, they are subject to theEmployer Shared Responsibility provisions.
- Regardless of size, all employers that provide self-insured health coverage to their employeesmust file an annual return reporting certain information for each employee they cover.
Certain affiliated employers with common ownership or part of a controlled group must aggregate their employees to determine their workforce size. Proposed regulations (pdf) and FAQs also provide more information about determining the size of your workforce.
Applicable large employers can find a complete list of resources and the latest news at theApplicable Large Employer Information Center.
