Help CenterShared Responsibility for Employers An applicable large employer that does not offer coverage to at least 95% of its full-time employees and their dependents, offers minimum essential coverage that is unaffordable, or offers minimum essential coverage that does not provide minimum value, may be subject to a shared responsibility payment. A plan provides minimum value if it covers at least 60% of the total allowed cost of benefits that are expected to be incurred under the plan.
