One of the city's largest employers, from 2013 to 2017, was [[Serco]]. The British-based company was awarded a five-year contract in 2013 to manage the implementation of the [[Affordable Care Act]]. As a result of the contract, Serco opened its Affordable Care Act application processing facility in Wentzville in August of that same year in the building that was formerly home to the US Fidelis call center. The Wentzville Serco facility attracted national attention in 2014 after whistle-blower allegations revealed that workers spent large amounts of time sleeping or playing games due to lack of work.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kmov.com/story/34393440/serco-employees-face-uncertain-future|title=SERCO employees face uncertain future|first=Chris|last=Nagus|website=[[KMOV]]|access-date=April 3, 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620101237/http://www.kmov.com/story/34393440/serco-employees-face-uncertain-future|archive-date=June 20, 2018|date=January 31, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.stltoday.com/news/special-reports/mohealth/serco-contract-to-process-obamacare-applications-renewed-for-a-year/article_406d0b7e-7964-56f1-94dc-28df215b7674.html|title=Serco contract to process Obamacare applications renewed for a year|first=Chuck|last=Raasch|newspaper=[[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]]|access-date=April 3, 2018|date=July 3, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.stltoday.com/news/special-reports/mohealth/workers-at-wentzille-obamacare-center-played-board-games-ex-employee/article_9a84cbdd-f2ee-5961-98cd-7d24dc5b08eb.html|title=Workers at Wentzille Obamacare center played board games, ex-employee says|first1=Tara|last1=Kulash|first2=Chuck|last2=Raasch|newspaper=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|access-date=April 3, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.stltoday.com/business/local/obamacare-processing-center-to-hire-in-wentzville/article_0a61e190-7222-56a5-a22b-a2b9f5a92161.html|title=Obamacare processing center to hire 600 in Wentzville|first=Tim|last=Logan|newspaper=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|access-date=April 3, 2018|date=August 21, 2013}}</ref>
