The Affordable Care Act and The Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions

Full-time employees (those who work 30 hours a week or more) must be offered health benefits by LG Health.

Who is a full-time employee?

A full-time employee is an employee who was employed on average at least 30 hours of service per week. The final regulations generally treat 130 hours of service in a calendar month as the monthly equivalent of 30 hours per service per week. All periods of paid leave must be taken into account; there is no limit on the hours of service that must be credited.

Look-back Measurement Method

To give employers flexible and workable options and greater predictability for determining full-time employee status, the IRS developed a look-back measurement method. The details of this method vary based on whether the employees are ongoing or new, and whether new employees are expected to work full-time, part-time or casual employees. The look-back measurement method involves:

• A measurement period for counting hours of service (called a standard measurement period (SMP) or an initial measurement period);
• A stability period when coverage may need to be provided depending on an employee’s full-time status; and
• An administrative period that allows time for enrollment and disenrollment.

LG Health will outreach to all employees that meet the Affordable Care Act eligibility requirements and provide them with enrollment instructions.
