Legal Update: By Michael F. Weiner, Legislative Director
Employer’s decision to limit employees’ hours, if to avoid ACA
obligations, could violate ERISA In Marin v. Dave & Buster’s, Inc., 15 Civ. 3608, USDC, S.D. New York, a
former employee filed suit alleging that her employer’s reduction of her hours,
which resulted in loss of eligibility for benefits under its health insurance plan,
violated ERISA’s anti-discrimination provision. In denying a motion to
dismiss filed by the employer, the court noted that ERISA prohibits employers
from discriminating against an employee “for the purpose of interfering with
the attainment” of a right to which the employee “may become entitled” under
a benefit plan. The court further held that the issue was the employer’s intent;
the employee has to establish that the employer “specifically intended to
interfere with benefits.” The Court found the plaintiff asserted sufficient facts
to show that intent, if proved at trial.
