Diners are shocked to see a 4% 'employee healthcare' fee on their bills at an LA restaurant — but the owner says it's common
"As most LA diners will know, Alimento's 4% healthcare surcharge is hardly unique," he wrote."There are dozens if not hundreds of other restaurants in Los Angeles that implemented similar surcharges when the ACA mandated that companies with 25 or more employees offer health insurance to full-time employees more than a decade ago."He noted that Alimento has fewer than 25 full-time employees, so he doesn't, by law, have to offer workers a health insurance plan.
One supporter said if restaurants raised the menu prices to cover costs,"everyone would complain that it was too expensive. Here you are clearly explaining where the money goes, to take better care of employees."
