Configure Employee Assignments for Affordable Care Act Reporting

Each employee must have an HR assignment and payroll relationship updated as of the first month they are reported.

If your Oracle Cloud implementation date occurred mid-year, use HCM Data Loader (HDL) to ensure each active employee has a valid assignment history for the entire year. Set their ACA Eligibility fields effective as of the day before you went live.

Use HDL to update the ACA fields for all employee active primary employment records. This info must be available for the entire reporting period (calendar year), including date effective changes. To help determine your employee's ACA full time status using a custom report, you can feed the predefined ACA Employee Eligible Hours balance from other hour's balances.

Cases where you couldn't use HDL are:

  • Employees excluded from the process

  • Employees with reporting overrides, such as:

    • Safe Harbor overrides

    • Offering of affordable Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)

To manually configure an employee:

  1. Start the Employment task for the person.

  2. Click Edit, and select either Update or Correct as appropriate.

  3. In Job Details, under Assignment Details, update the following as needed.
