ACA on Demand, ACA Compliance Center: Dashboard

The ACA OnDemand Dashboard provides a view of real time key statistics being tracked within the ACA Compliance Center.  An employer or administrator can view ALE Status, a statistical summary of FTE ACA Coverage, ACA Trending Employees and an ACA Compliance status window.

ALE (Applicable Large Employer) Status 

• Full-Time employee count and Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employee count display by month.  
• The total of these two employee counts determines if an employer is an ALE.  
• An Applicable Large Employer is commonly referred to as an ALE.  
• An ALE is an employer with at least 50 full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees.
• Companies under a common ownership, or part of a control group, are combined to determine whether they meet the threshold of 50 full-time equivalent employees.

 ACA Compliance

• A display of employee data in the following categories: Total number of standard salaried employees, standard hourly employees, variable hour employees, unassigned employees and any employees whom are missing critical data.
• Any information required to file Form 1095-C is considered critical data.
• Examples of critical data include: social security number and address.
• An unassigned employee is any employee that does not have a health insurance plan with corresponding offer of coverage answer.
• Immediate action items display in red. 
• By clicking  on the employee category, you are taken directly to the measurement period to view more detail.  

ACA Trending Employees

• Each part-time employee being tracked within the current measurement period for the company.
• Using the average weekly hours and days left within the measurement period, a 'Pace Needed' calculation displays.  
• This represents the total number of hours an employee should work for the remainder of the measurement period to maintain, or stay ‘on pace’ to keep a part-time status.
• This is intended to provide valuable insight to the employer in order to make the most informed business decisions on scheduling hours and benefit coverage.

FTE ACA Coverage – As part of ACA requirements, the IRS audits employer benefit offerings in three key categories for ALE’s.  Each statistic displays as a percentage:

• The percent of Full-Time Employees offered Minimum Essential Coverage
• The percent of Full-Time Employees offered Minimum Value
• The percent of Full-Time Employees offered Affordable Coverage
