Mandatory compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

ensuring compliance and absorbing the anticipated costs of PPACA without
jeopardizing bottom-line results.

A
recent study conducted by Mercer on the impact of PPACA found that

Paul DeCamp, partner, Jackson Lewis LLP
"Many
organizations had been taking a wait-and-see approach to PPACA
compliance. Now that the election is over, it would be prudent for
employers to get a strategy in place and develop tools and processes
to comply before the 2014 deadline."

Jim Kizielewicz, senior vice president, Kronos (News - Alert)
"By
leveraging Kronos workforce management solutions, organizations can
more effectively manage their largest controllable expense and biggest
asset: labor. Organizations that have automated their workforce
management processes will be better prepared to combat the near-term
impacts of the PPACA."
