Once they get enough companies to pay "penalties" instead of pay for more expensive insurance....they will raise the penalties to be more than the insurance was. They will also start raising the "penalties" they charge for not having insurance forcing everyone into the government system. Businesses and citizens are currently in the "herding" phase.

GNC Employess - listen up I do not remember where I heard this, so I cannot give credit. If anyone knows, I'd be delighted to hear... Quoting: mumf One way to get around this Obamacare nightmare is to fire your employees and hire them back as sub-contractors or independent contractors. Theyd be responsible for paying their own taxes. Eliminate the employer/employee relationship. Just like the thread about the doctors walking out of the meeting about Obamacare and the other instance of doctors charging cash and accepting no insurance, we the people must find a way around this to show our views (or save our company). Being forced into a corner makes you think outside the box. Hope this helps somebody out there! trouble is, for the employees- if they do that, there will be no UI insurance for them when their contract ends unexpectedly. And they'll be fighting to get work while losing their home/apt. |

I worked for GNC for about 2 years part-time while getting my master's degree. That ended about 1 1/2 years ago. Screw GNC, they are selling everything for at least a 50% markup. While I was working there it was assumed that I would never work more than 30 hours. On weeks when I did work more than 30 it would be adjusted the next week to make sure I did not work more than 60 hours in 2 weeks (since we got paid every two weeks). I quit when I found out my time card was changed and hours subtracted when I worked over 60 hours in two weeks. I complained to corporate after quitting and received back pay for those hours in which I was not compensated. Currently, GNC is facing a case action lawsuit for this very reason. |

GNC Employess - listen up let's go down the rabbit hole: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28689320 1. GNC is a huge corporation 2. Obamacare is a disaster Obamacare states that all employees are required to be covered by health insurance by the corporation except those employees working 29 hours or less, which are considered part time or seasonal. So, the corporation is going to cut everyone hours to 29 or less to avoid paying healthcare for their employees - now that's loyalty and ... on top of that, some of those "part time" workers work 40 hours or more a week! Which would make them full time employees due full time employee benefits, which obviously are not being honored by calling them "part time employees" Anyway, that's what I read from OP's sad tale and blame deflect. It seems the only "losers" in all of this are ... once again ... wait for it .... THE PEOPLE! Very well stated. A lot of these people will now qualify for reduced, or free, Obamacare. Perhaps other benefits as well. They go from payers, to takers... not because they want to, but because they need healthcare. Then, the Democrats will tell them that if they don't vote for them, the Republicans will take those benefits away. By that time, they are not even living from pay-check to pay-check -- and they can't take the chance that they would lose the benefits. They vote Democrat... The Democrats completely takeover... We lose our gun rights and no telling what else.. Collapse is the end result... but the American people have been screwed and cannot adequately defend ourselves. Democrats will shed their false name, and simply admit to being communist progressives. THE END. What do Republicans offer anyone who doesn't own a corporation,a hedge fund or who is not a military contractor that they can give a war to. |
