Analyze Full-Time Equivalent Eligibility

Run the Analyze Full-Time Equivalent Eligibility process to use the employee’s hours worked during the appropriate measurement (look-back) period to determine whether the employee’s hours during that time make him/her a full-time equivalent employee based on Affordable Care Act (ACA) regulations.

Before using this screen you will need to:

  • Set up Taxable Entity/Benefit Year combinations in the Manage Benefit Years by Taxable Entity screen.
  • Set Variable Hours Employee check box for appropriate employees in the Manage Employee Salary Information screen.
  • Set Exclude from ACA Full-Time Equivalent Analysis check box for any appropriate pay types in the Manage Pay Types screen.
  • Set up Life Event which would indicate an employee’s eligibility for benefits as a full-time equivalent employee.  This Life Event must be flagged as a Benefit Qualifying Event in the Manage Employee Life Events screen.

The application adds a life event on the Self Service Tasks (ESS_TASKS) table when the system automatically creates an employee life event.
