As full implementation of the Affordable Care Act draws closer, experts say that companies looking to thwart new costs may be turning to temporary workers as a solution. Parts of the law only effect those with more than 50 companies and for larger organizations, only workers who work 30 or more hours a week. By contracting with companies to provide temps, companies with around 50 employees, may be able to lower costs. Experts say that for both large and small organizations, temporary and part-time workers are way to get around the new regulations.
