Obamacare Claims Another Victim: Sesame Street… | Weasel Zippers
A spokesman for SeaWorld, the amusement park’s parent company, confirmed Wednesday that the company was cutting the weekly work limit for part-time employees from 32 to 28 hours. Under the Affordable Care Act, companies can face fines if they do not provide insurance for staffers who work at least 30 hours per week.
Fred Jacobs, the SeaWorld spokesman, did not say whether the change in policy had been prompted by the health-care law.
“The move is intended to bring consistency to the part-time designation across the SeaWorld Parks system,” Jacobs wrote in an statement.
