While the Affordable Health Care Act (ACA) turned 13 this year, it is still causing organizational challenges for HR leaders and benefits brokers alike. Nearly three-quarters of employers say that ACA compliance is overly or somewhat burdensome. In fact, 69% of employers say they spend more than 80 hours a year just on ACA compliance.
