You can review historical PPACA eligibility information by employee, in the Details tab.
Select an employee in the top panel, and Dayforce shows all historical PPACA eligibility records associated with the employee in the bottom panel. Dayforce also shows all calendar cycles to which the employee is currently assigned.
To filter the records by employee name, enter a search term in the Search field and click Apply Filter. To clear the filter, click Clear Filter.
In addition, the records in the tab can be filtered by clicking Filter. See Filter Employee Records.
The columns in both the top and bottom panels can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the column header.
In the example above, the Hire Date column is sorted in descending order.
Ignore PPACA Calendar Periods
You can use or ignore PPACA calendar periods that have been assigned to employees when an HR change or a PPACA calendar change results in the employee qualifying for a new calendar, or becoming ineligible for their previously assigned calendar period, when the periods haven't been submitted.
Ignored periods don’t count towards the totals shown in the Overview tab, and Dayforce doesn't include ignored periods when the background jobs, including Calculate Average Hours, Approve, End Coverage, and Publish Enrollment, are run.
When the Benefits Enrollment object on a workflow is triggered, Dayforce recalculates PPACA period assignments based on the associated Event Date and the employee's PPACA calendar eligibility. If the employee is assigned a new period in which the Event Date falls, Dayforce determines if the employee is already assigned to a period and, if so, applies the following logic:
- If the employee qualifies as PPACA full-time as of the Event Date, and has a calendar period previously assigned that hasn't been approved, the existing record is ignored with the Moved to FT Position reason.
- If the employee doesn't qualify as PPACA full-time as of the Event Date, and has a calendar period previously assigned that hasn't been approved, and the employee no longer qualifies for the existing calendar period, the existing record is ignored with the No Longer Eligible reason.
- If the employee is eligible for a calendar period, and has a calendar period of the same type previously assigned that hasn't been approved, the existing record is ignored with the New Period Assigned reason.
To manually update unapproved records in the Details tab, select the record in the lower panel, and then select an option.
When Ignore Period is selected, Dayforce shows the Ignore Period dialog box. Assign an ignore reason to the record and click Yes.
When Do Not Ignore Period is selected, Dayforce shows the Do Not Ignore Period dialog box. Click Yes.
