How ACA-Track Simplifies ACA Compliance for Employers of All Sizes
Staying compliant with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) can feel like a daunting task, especially with the complexities involved in tracking hours worked, managing employee eligibility, and ensuring accurate reporting to the IRS. For businesses of all sizes, navigating these requirements is critical to avoid expensive penalties and legal complications. ACA-Track offers an automated, all-in-one solution that simplifies ACA compliance, providing employers with the tools they need to ensure timely and accurate reporting while staying compliant with ACA mandates.
The ACA Compliance Challenge
ACA compliance requires businesses to track a wide range of data points, including employee work hours, eligibility for health benefits, and the accuracy of forms submitted to the IRS. However, the process of collecting, monitoring, and reporting this data can quickly become overwhelming, especially for businesses with large or variable workforces. The major challenges that businesses face in ACA compliance include:
- Data Overload: With multiple systems in place, from timekeeping and HRIS to payroll systems, integrating all this data into one cohesive view can be a daunting task. Accuracy is essential, but maintaining consistency across various platforms is often difficult.
- Tracking Hours and Eligibility: Employers must track the hours of all employees, including part-time and variable-hour workers, to determine their eligibility for health benefits. Managing this manually can result in errors and missed opportunities to meet ACA thresholds.
- IRS Reporting and Form Generation: Generating the IRS-required 1094-C and 1095-C forms involves complex calculations and a detailed understanding of IRS codes. Manual reporting increases the risk of mistakes and penalties, especially for businesses with fluctuating employee counts.
