Requirements around employee benefits are first based on the number of full-time employees a company has. If the company is an Applicable Large Employer (ALE), an hourly employee becomes eligible for benefits if the number of hours they work meets or surpasses full-time work. The Affordable Care Act and the IRS define a full-time employee as one who works at least 30 hours a week or 130 hours a month on average. Employees who will be working full-time should be offered benefits based on the company's Waiting Period.
But to determine whether employees work enough hours on average to receive benefits, employers must track their schedules for three to 12 months prior to 2014 â meaning many are restructuring payrolls now or will do so early next year.
