They are the most visible piece of the supply chain. But just as important are information flows. Information flows allow the various supply chain partners to coordinate their long-term plans, and to control the day-to-day flow of goods and material up and down the supply chain.
Affordable Care Act Definition of Full-Time Employment With the introduction of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), a definition of a full-time employee has been prescribed as a worker who spends an average of 30 or more hours per week on the job.
ObamaCareâs employer mandate and redefinition of full-time work are the primary culprits. Effective January 1, 2015, large employers like Staples must provide health insurance for 70 percent of their full-time workforce or face penalties of up to $3,000 per employee, with the exception of the first 80 employees. It also happens that the ACA defines full-time work as only 30 hours per week.
