What You’ll Learn

This session will break down the basics in a clear, practical way so HR and benefits teams can feel more confident managing seasonal and summer employees under the Affordable Care Act.

During this session, we’ll cover:

• How the ACA defines seasonal and variable-hour employees
• Why summer help can impact ACA eligibility tracking
• Common classification mistakes to avoid
• How measurement periods apply to seasonal employees
• What to consider when employees’ hours change mid-season
• Best practices for staying compliant during summer hiring

Why Attend

Managing summer employees may seem simple, but ACA rules can make eligibility and compliance more complicated than expected. This webinar will help you understand what to watch for, what to track, and how to reduce risk as seasonal hiring ramps up.

Join us on May 6 at 11:00 AM CT for a practical session with Melissa McAlister, Senior Customer Success Manager, focused on auditing your benefits administration processes. We’ll walk through how to conduct an audit of both coverage and payroll deductions, helping you identify discrepancies and ensure accuracy across your systems.

In addition, we’ll discuss the importance of understanding your plan documents—such as when age-based increases should occur and which life events allow for coverage changes. We’ll place special focus on life insurance, one of the more complex benefits to manage, so you can confidently ensure your data aligns with plan rules.

Key Takeaways:

• How to conduct an audit of benefits coverage and payroll deductions
• How to identify and resolve discrepancies in your data
• Ways to research and track changes within your system
• What to review in plan documents, including age changes and life events

In this session, you’ll learn how to confidently support clients across a range of ACA scenarios—from inheriting non-compliant groups to navigating mid-year BOR changes—while reducing risk and strengthening your advisory role. 

What You’ll Learn: 

* How to position and deliver ACA compliance support—regardless of ben admin or payroll systems

* How to identify, mitigate, and respond to ACA compliance risks and IRS notices

* How to navigate complex scenarios, including BOR changes, non-compliant groups, and M&A activity

* How to avoid “ACA Light” pitfalls and leverage the right partner to support long-term success 

Why Attend: 

Most brokerages avoid ACA compliance due to perceived risk—but your clients still need guidance. This session will show you how to step into that gap with confidence by partnering strategically, reducing exposure, and delivering meaningful value when it matters most.

In this foundational session, Ashley Pope, Director of ACA Services, and Stacy Barrow, J. D., Partner at Barrow Lent LLP, will break down the key ACA requirements every employer should understand — and highlight where organizations most commonly fall out of compliance.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how ACA rules work together and what to evaluate now to avoid issues later.

This webinar also serves as the kickoff to our “Back to the Basics: ACA Series,” designed to help HR, benefits, and payroll professionals strengthen their ACA knowledge before diving into more advanced topics.

Why This Session Matters:

Post-Filing ACA Review
& How PEOs Can Avoid Penalties

Join us on April 22nd at 11:00 AM CST for this exclusive partner webinar, co-sponsored by PrismHR and Selerix — the only ACA compliance provider integrated with PrismHR. In this session, we’ll break down the most common post-filing issues uncovered during reporting season and explain how they translate into penalty exposure — especially within the PEO model, where shared responsibility and data alignment are essential. 

Hosted by:

Michelle Kershner, Senior Sales Director, Selerix

Kelli Smith, Director of ACA Compliance, Selerix 

We’ll cover:

• How to identify and resolve AIR transmission rejections

• The most common post-filing reporting errors and correction strategies

• Key ACA penalty triggers and how the IRS generates Letter 226J assessments

• ALE responsibility and compliance risk in a PEO arrangement

• How to turn filing season lessons into a proactive compliance strategy

• New legislation updates — including the Paperwork Reduction Act — and how Selerix’s 1095 Employee Portal for PrismHR supports compliant, streamlined employee form access

Filing forms is only one part of ACA compliance. What happens after submission — from rejection management to eligibility tracking corrections — can significantly impact your organization’s penalty exposure in the coming year. 

Don’t wait until the next reporting cycle to fix what can be addressed now.
