Status (Form 1095-C, Full-time Employee)
A full-time employee is an employee who, for a calendar month, is employed an average of at least 30 hours of service per week with the employer. For this purpose, 130 service hours in a calendar month is treated as the monthly equivalent of at least 30 hours per week. An employer must complete information for all twelve months of the calendar year for any of its employees who were full-time employees for one or more months of the calendar year. For more information on the identification of full-time employees, see Regulations sections 54.4980H-1(a)(21) and 54.4980H-3 and Notice 2014-49, 2014-41 I.R.B. 66 (which describes a proposed approach to the application of the look-back measurement method in situations in which the measurement period applicable to an employee changes).
Note. A retiree (meaning an individual who was not an employee during the applicable period) is not a full-time employee. However, if the retiree was a full-time employee for any month of the calendar year (for example, before retiring mid-year), the employer must complete information in Part II of Form 1095-C for all twelve months of the calendar year, using the appropriate codes.
