Runaway Costs
Payroll and health premiums up 12–18 % every year.
Ghost-Town Recruiting
“No qualified applicants” really means no magnetic employer brand + clunky onboarding.
Seat-Swapping
Right people, wrong chairs. Seasoned staff spin their wheels; new hires bounce in 6 months.
Culture Drain
Employees hate the plan you pay a fortune for and still skip the doctor because of high deductibles.
Effective Date: October 19, 2026
