Excluding an Employee from ACA Reporting

Unless otherwise specified, all employees are included in ACA reporting. They can be excluded for all or part of the reporting year, if they were not considered full-time, as defined under Section 4980H. Alternatively, they are not considered an employee for the purpose of ACA reporting. For example, a contractor, a sole proprietor, or a partner may not be an employee for the purposes of ACA reporting.

1. Go to Payroll and HR > Lists > Employees (Payroll Manager).
