I've been working for a chain restaurant franchise in SC. I've been told the franchise owner can't afford to offer us insurance, but I thought that the ACA made it mandatory. There's maybe 20 employees between the two stores he owns. If this isn't a good place to put this, let me know.
(also the owner has been on vacation and unreachable at least twice a month since I started working, so the whole 'i can't afford it 🙁 thing is absolute horseshit. most people here make $9 and work part time. The GM is a liar and a thief. yes i'm looking for a new job.)
