Opt-out arrangements (historically called cash-in-lieu arrangements) provide a taxable cash payout if an employee waives employer-sponsored health insurance. This episode of Comply on the Fly covers both unconditional and conditional opt-out arrangements and the additional compliance obligations employers face surrounding them.
