What is the definition of a full-time employee for the purpose of ACA?

Full-time employees are individuals employed, on average, for at least 30 hours of service per week during the month or at least 130 hours of service during the month. An employer determines its number of full-time equivalent employees for a month by combining the number of hours of service of all non-full-time employees for the month (but not including more than 120 hours of service per employee), and dividing the total by 120. For example, an employer that employs 40 full-time employees and 20 employees each with 60 hours of service in a month has the equivalent of 50 full-time employees in the month (40 full-time employees plus 10 full-time equivalent employees [20 X 60 = 1200, and 1200/120 =10]).

Use the calculator below to calculate your Full-Time Equivalent Employees

  • Not including more than 120 hours per non-full-time employee.
  • You qualify as an ALE!

    Since you have more than 50 Total Equivalent FT Employees, you qualify as an Applicable Large Employer for 2024 ACA compliance and reporting.
  • You do NOT qualify as an ALE!

    Since you have less than 50 Total Equivalent FT Employees, you do NOT qualify as an Applicable Large Employer for 2024 ACA compliance and reporting.
