Guide to Great Enrollment
Welcome!
Here’s everything you’ll need for a successful Open Enrollment.
Why Is Health Enrollment Important?
Offering Healthcare is not an option – it’s mandatory.
- You must show proof of offering healthcare to all employees to stay ACA Compliant and avoid steep IRS penalties.
- Example: A DSP with 60 full-time employees (FTEs) that cannot show proof of offering minimum essential coverage (in accordance with ACA guidelines1), could be assessed a penalty of $2,880 per FTE after the first 30 employees. That’s a penalty of $86,400!
- DSPs must be able to show proof of offering healthcare to all employees to stay compliant with Amazon DSP Program Policy. Your proof is every benefits-eligible employee logging into the Decisely platform to enroll or waive coverage.
Employees with healthcare stay longer.
- Offering quality, affordable benefits improves employee retention! Employees with health insurance stay with DSPs 3x longer than those without.2
Providing healthcare helps employees AND your business:
- Promotes employee well-being.
- Prevents medical and financial crises.
- Increases productivity & job satisfaction.
- Helps employees manage growing families & unexpected medical issues.
