Since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), larger employers have wondered about an auto-enrollment provision that the ACA added to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Under that provision, employers that are subject to the FLSA and which employed more than 200 full-time employees would have been required to automatically enroll new full-time employees in one of the employer’s health benefits plans (subject to any waiting period authorized by law). Certain notices would have been required giving employees an opportunity to opt out of any coverage in which the employee was automatically enrolled.
