With the employer shared responsibility (ESR) provisions of the Affordable Care Act in place, you as an employer face a complex and difficult task in tracking your full-time employee count to comply with the law's reporting requirements. The challenges you face include:

• Determining the number of full-time employees you have, including full-time equivalent employees (i.e. seasonal and part-time employee work hours that total a full-time employee's)
• Tracking your full-time employee hours during specific measurement periods outlined in the law's provisions
• Managing changes in eligibility, part-time/full-time status, and which employees need to be offered coverage

BeneTrac's Full-Time Employee Analysis Service provides:

• The framework and tools to establish a look-back measurement period for tracking employee hours
• Modeling capabilities that help employers determine the impact of different measurement periods for tracking employee hours worked
• A customized workflow to easily offer employees coverage who are now designated as "full-time" per the ESR provisions
• Analysis of employee data to determine which variable-hour employees are full-time and should be offered coverage, or may subject employers to a potential penalty if not offered coverage
• An on-demand look-back report to help employers identify and manage eligibility changes
