>> “It is anticipated that the final regulations will contain an anti-abuse rule,” the agency said. “Under that anticipated rule, if an individual performs services as an employee of an employer, and also performs the same or similar services for that employer in the individual’s purported employment at a temporary staffing agency or other staffing agency of which the employer is a client, then all the hours of service are attributed to the employer for purposes of applying section 4980H.” An entire industry is going to grow up around this law. And while it is easy to see how an anti-abuse measure as described will hold water (e.g., attributing agency hours to the employer for this purpose, via regulations rather than code), the real issue is going to be 28 hour work weeks. I just don't know how they can do a damned thing about THAT. What that quote describes is a little odd, however, since those regs would apparently not come into effect unless the employee works for BOTH the agency and the employer. Businesses are going to croak as the regulations start rolling out. For the food service industry, I suspect you'll have agencies crop up that do nothing other than provide workers for less than 30 hours a week to any given employer.
