Show HN: Just 6 days to go – save your business from obamacare penalties now

[latchkey]

This is a website run out of India (check the whois records). Seems like a tricky way to collect information on employees at businesses. This shouldn't be on the front page of HN.

This is not a hoax – I'm the creater and I have no interest to collect and run away with your business information :-)

Read the government requirement here: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/newsroom/tr13-02.html

Also this article to get more info: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-09-03/what-small-b...

However, your comment has costed the website to suddenly jump off the home page.

Could you provide more information about the fine you mention? On the FAQ (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq-noticeofcoverageoptions.htm...) it says there is no fine or penalty for failing to provide a notice.

This feels like some skeevy attempt at grabbing business information. As another poster has pointed out, the server is sitting in India.

The penalty requirement is recently waved off. I should update it. But the notice is required to be sent under the section 18B of FLSA. Also, if the employee does not receive the notice and he misses the open enrollment period, he can sue the employer later at any point.
