Alicia also discusses the full-time employee status determination and an optional look-back measurement method to make it easier to determine whether employees with varying hours and seasonal employees are full-time, help clarify the method and the alternative monthly method of determining full-time status, and review the final rules which provide safe harbors that make it easy for employers to determine whether the coverage they offer is affordable to employees and next steps for simplifying employer information reporting.
