Configuring the Affordable Care Act Rule

After you have defined the time codes and hour types that represent service and leave time within your organization, the Affordable Care Act Rule must be configured in each of the calculation groups that control US-based employees. This rule lets the system summarize daily timesheet data for each employee. The rule records the total number of service time minutes and leave time minutes for each day.

  1. Select Maintenance > System Administration > Toolkit > Quick Rule Editor.
  2. Select the calculation group that you want to edit, and click Go.
  3. Click Add Rule in the left panel.
  4. In the right panel, select Affordable Care Act Rule from the drop-down list, and click Add.
  5. After the right panel refreshes, click Apply to add the rule to the calculation group.
  6. On the left panel, position the rule to apply after all configured rules that might affect an employee’s work details have been performed.
    This step ensures that all details matching the time codes and hour types that are defined as service and leave time are properly accounted for and summarized. In most cases, only the Unauthorize Rule should be positioned to run after the Affordable Care Act Rule.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Repeat the previous steps for each calculation group to be updated.
