Configure Employees for Affordable Care Act Reporting
Each employee must have the following updated as of the first month they are reported.
-
Complete work hours
-
HR assignment and payroll relationship
Load employee hours
For your first reporting period, ensure you have loaded all work hours for your employees.
Use HDL to load the hours of employees who:
-
Were hired in the year prior to when you went live
-
Require average hours worked to be determined at the end of each measurement period
Load assignment history
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.
