Many part-time employees report feeling confused about the Affordable Care Act and its impact, but employers are doing little to help bridge the information gap, according to a new survey by The Workforce Institute at Kronos Inc.

While 71 percent of respondents say they are familiar with the upcoming changes of ACA, 21 percent of respondents say they have yet to hear about it, and 7 percent of respondents say they have heard of ACA but are unfamiliar with the changes that are to come.

Respondents also report receiving information on ACA from a wide range of sources. Sixty-one percent of respondents say the media is their top information source, and 38 percent of respondents say they rely on friends and family for information. Another 36 percent of respondents go to social media for information, and only 8 percent of respondents say they received information from their employers.
