Shared Responsibility (30hr/wk) Petition

Hey fellow nurses,

I for one work PRN only, 2 jobs, and we all know the benefits of that. (scheduling, rates, etc) at one job I work 3 12hr shift, the new Provision to the Employer Shared Responsibility under the ACA states that ANYONE (no matter the career) be made FT (and offered health insurance) if working over 30hr/wk on average.

One of my facilities has already implemented this "20hr/wk and under only" and my other is in the works. Read more about the Provisions here: Questions and Answers on Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions Under the Affordable Care Act

This directly, and negatively, affects me and many others that I work with. We have joined together to start a petition to exclude PRN/Per Diem workers from this Provision/Revision.

PLEASE HELP US BY SIGNING!!!

This is one of Obamacare's main principles- the government knows better than you or your employeer what you need.

Quote from toomuchbaloneyTypical.The business or corporation makes a decision to protect inflated profits before they decide to treat employees as partners and blame the ACA. Apparently they believe that enough people in the area share in the animus against the ACA that they will believe the crap excuse they make for their business decision. Obviously some will believe the "we are going to crap on our employees because...OBAMACARE" but many/most of us are sick of the narrow minded perspective.

Quote from scottaprnRead the original post. The OP wants the freedom to be able to work their accustomed amount of PRN hours. They want the perks of PRN including higher wage and schedule flexibility. Due to Obamacare the companies must provide health insurance if the OP works more than a government mandated amount. This leads to the company cutting back hours for PRN workers to make sure they stay under the limit. This limits the freedom of the employer and the OP to decide amongst themselves the best situation.Instead of being "sick of the narrow minded perspectives" why don't you do a little research and tell me where I am wrong. This is another example of a Washington one-size fits all solution that is screwing the OP but you can't even acknowledge this because it doesn't fit your narrow minded philosophy.
