We had an executive staff meeting on Monday to go over the ramifications of Obamacare on our business. The owner hired a consultant who recommended we cut hours on all of our hourly employees working 30+ hours per week so we don't have to offer them health insurance and they can go into the exchange. How does this help employees? If they have to work fewer hours, the'll be earning less. If we don't cut hours and keep the employees who work over 30 hours per week at their regular hours, we'll end up being penalized close to $2 million. That certainly isn't going to help grow the business and/or allow us to expand and bring more people on board. And how can we justify price increases when people are already struggling to get by?
