During the setup process, you defined regulatory periods for variable hour employees (Setup > Regulatory Periods tab) and you identified employees who are variable hour (Setup > Employee ACA Settings).
Note: You may also identify variable hour employees throughout the year.
In accordance with the ACA, after the measurement period for these employees ends, you are required to update the employees and assign them to your standard measurement period.
Variable hour employees are typically newly hired employees whose hours are expected to vary so much that you don't know if they will be full-time or part-time. The measurement for variable hour employees begins with either the hire date or the first of the month following the hire date, as you defined on the Setup > Regulatory Periods tab.
Using the Variable hour employee report
Use the Analysis > Dashboards and Analysis > Variable hour (report) to identify employees who require updates. You will see affected employees listed in red when the initial (variable-hour) measurement period has ended.
Note: You must close the online dashboards and analysis pages to apply any changes you make to the desktop windows in My Workforce Analyzer.
