Health Care Reform Update: How Will the Supreme Court Decision on Health Care Impact Your Business?, Aug. 28 This timely seminar will help employers understand and effectively implement the recently upheld regulations of the Affordable Care Act. By 2014, employers must be prepared for the dramatic ways in which reform will impact their bottom lines and business strategies. In this session, CGWG attorney Amber Wilson Bagley will explore the short-term and long-term implications of this legislation, including a timeline for implementation, employer obligations, employer penalties, and practical steps that should be taken to comply with the new law.
