On June 28, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the HC Reform is largely constitutional, upholding the individual mandate provision. The individual mandate is the provision that requires Americans to maintain health coverage. While it is still uncertain if this provision would apply to Puerto Rico, or what impact it would have on the HC Reform come January 2013, we are certain that employers will continue to face challenging decisions regarding healthcare.
Considering the business risks related to managing Puerto Rico’s comprehensive and complex labor regulation, it makes sense for companies to protect their resources with an Employment Practices Liability (EPL) policy.
This Veterans Day, while we take a moment to honor the millions of men and women who watch over our freedom, it’s important to also share information about the resources available to help veterans who are on the path to entrepreneurship.
