They are the most visible piece of the supply chain. But just as important are information flows. Information flows allow the various supply chain partners to coordinate their long-term plans, and to control the day-to-day flow of goods and material up and down the supply chain.
Affordable Care Act Definition of Full-Time Employment With the introduction of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), a definition of a full-time employee has been prescribed as a worker who spends an average of 30 or more hours per week on the job.
The Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature health care reform law, requires large employers to provide health insurance for full-time employees or pay a penalty. It changes the definition of a full-time work week, however, from the traditional 40 hours a week to 30 hours a week so that more people can be covered. Critics say this could encourage employers to cut their employees' workweek to under 30 hours. Industry members are anxious to use a 40-hour definition.
