When is an employee considered full time?

The ACA Reporting module will use the following guidelines to determine if an employee is considered full time or part time.

What's a full-time employee?

  • The employee's payroll status is Full Time or FTE.

  • The employee's payroll status is NOT Full Time or FTE but the employee's average hours using the Lookback calculation is 30 hours or more.


What's a part-time employee?

  • The employee's payroll status is Part Time, and

  • The employee's average total hours using the Lookback calculation is less than 30 hours.


What happens if the employee status is blank?

If the employee's status is left blank, then the employee does not have any hours recorded in Timekeeping. Since the ACA Reporting module uses the hours recorded in Timekeeping to determine if the employee is full time, full time equivalent, or part time, and the employee does not have hours recorded, the ACA Reporting module records the result as "blank". You'll need to assess the employee's employment status manually and then uses the ACA Employee table to record the employee's ACA employment status.
