Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How is ALE status calculated?
An employer with at least 50 or more “full-time employees' ' or “full-time equivalents' ' is considered as an “applicable large employer” or ALE.
Full time employees:
A full-time employee is someone who works an average of 30 hours per week, or 120 hours in a calendar month, which would be treated as equivalent to 30 hours/week.
Full time equivalent employees:
A full-time equivalent is NOT an actual employee.
To calculate “full-time equivalents”, an employer must look at the aggregate number of hours worked for each month for all non-full-time employees. A “non-full-time employee” is one who does not regularly work 30 or more hours/week.
An employee who is not a full-time employee under this standard (including a seasonal employee) for a given month is taken into account in the FTE calculation. This includes “variable hour employees,” or someone who is simply part time.
Q. Does your Organization have employees that work outside of the U.S.?
Employees who work outside of the U.S. are excluded from the Full Time Equivalent calculation.
Q. Why do I need to calculate ALE Status?
If you have more than 50 Full Time Equivalent Employees, you will need to comply with the ACA employer mandate and report the ACA Form 1095-C and Form 1094-C to the IRS.
Q. I am having less than 50 Full Time Equivalent Employees. Are we still required to comply?
However, if you are under the 50 FTE number, and are a company that is self-insured, you are still required to file ACA returns for all covered individuals regardless of the employee count.
