HOME HEALTH CARE
Top Challenges:
-
High turnover and part-time schedules

Variable-hour nurses, techs, and support staff

Multiple EINs across facilities
How ACA 360 Helps:

Look-back measurement methods for variable-hour workers

Centralized tracking of eligibility across locations and EINs

Real-time monitoring to ensure timely offers of coverage

Don't wait for year-end—track monthly and act on changes in status before the IRS does.
MANUFACTURING & WAREHOUSING
Top Challenges:
-
Shift-based work across departments
-
Union employees with separate benefit rules

Limited visibility into actual hours worked
How ACA 360 Helps:
-
Applies tailored measurement periods by shift or job class
-
Ensures union compliance while avoiding overlap with ACA offers
-
Consolidates tracking across HR, payroll, and scheduling tools
Pro Tip:
Unions don’t override ACA requirements—non-union employees still count toward your ALE status.
QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT
Top Challenges:
-
Tipped employees with fluctuating hours

Seasonal workforce
-
Multiple franchises or ownership groups
How ACA 360 Helps:

Aggregates data across locations and ownership

Pro Tip:
Employers with multiple FEINs might still be considered a single ALE group—are you tracking them together?

Frequent staffing changes and rehires

Varying schedules that affect full-time calculations
