Are You In Compliance with Hours Counting and FTE Eligibility Requirements of the PPACA?

The Act of 2010 (variably known as “PPACA,” “ACA” or “Obamacare”) requires every employer with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees to either provide health insurance to every qualifying employee, or pay a penalty.

Determining whether employees qualify as full-time (FTE) for purposes of the ACA is complex, at best. While the actual requirement to provide insurance to full time employees (or pay specified penalties) doesn’t take effect for most employers until 2014, the record-keeping period, both for determining large employer status and for determining coverage eligibility by employee, runs throughout 2013.

Recent clarifications in the interim final regulations are enlightening, and will have many employers re-thinking their current administrative capabilities, both in their HRIS and payroll record-keeping, as well as in the processes that underpin them.
