#2This is a website run out of India (check the whois records). Seems like a tricky way to collect information on employees at businesses. This shouldn't be on the front page of HN.

This is not a hoax – I'm the creater and I have no interest to collect and run away with your business information :-)
Read the government requirement here: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/newsroom/tr13-02.html
Also this article to get more info: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-09-03/what-small-b...
However, your comment has costed the website to suddenly jump off the home page.

#5Could you provide more information about the fine you mention? On the FAQ (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq-noticeofcoverageoptions.htm...) it says there is no fine or penalty for failing to provide a notice.

Stuff like this should only be on a .gov website and nobody in their right mind should enter in employee information into a random third party website run out of India by a single dude with a hotmail email address for a whois record. Nice try.

I couldn't disagree more. With your line of argument, start ups shouldn't exist because "a dude from his garage cannot be trusted with business info." Anyway The information being asked can very well be bought/scraped if somebody needs to.

This feels like some skeevy attempt at grabbing business information. As another poster has pointed out, the server is sitting in India.

Your site isn't a startup.

Keep on imposing your line of argument, and of course downvoting. But the truth is I was trying to solve a pain for small businesses most of which have not yet complied by sending the notification. It seems you never tried the website and started with your baseless arguments. Again with this website I have just made electronic delivery of the notification simpler as the same requires that "delivery is tracked". I just take employees email and name (optional) and basic business information necessary to prepare the model notice obtained from DOL website.
Solving somebody pain is a path to a startup, if you have some other definition please feel free to live by that.
