I just re-read the EO
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/24/2017-01799/minimizing-the-economic-burden-of-the-patient-protection-and-affordable-care-act-pending-repeal
and perhaps I'm being dense, I see clearly where it tells the IRS not to enforce the individual mandate but I don't see anything regarding the employer mandate. Can you help me out here? Thanks.

No, I don’t think there is an employer mandate. But an employer can provide private insurance. Nowhere does it say an employer must provide Obamacare. They did so because (in theory) it was cheaper-—but if there are no exchanges, then it not only won’t be cheaper, but it won’t be available at all. They will have to go private.
