Transportation and logistics companies face unique challenges when it comes to ACA compliance. With a diverse workforce that includes full-time drivers, part-time warehouse workers, temporary labor, and seasonal staff, ensuring compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) can be a complex and time-consuming task. The fluctuating nature of schedules and employee status only adds to the complexity. ACA-Track provides a solution specifically designed to streamline ACA compliance for transportation and logistics companies, allowing them to efficiently manage their workforce and avoid the risk of non-compliance penalties.
ACA-Track’s ACA Compliance for Transportation and Logistics platform is designed to automate hour tracking, eligibility monitoring, and IRS reporting, making it easier for transportation and logistics companies to meet ACA requirements while reducing administrative overhead.
Efficient Hour Tracking for a Diverse Workforce
In the transportation and logistics industry, employees often work variable hours and may be employed in different roles, from drivers and dispatchers to warehouse workers and temporary staff. The ACA mandates that companies track the actual hours worked by all employees to determine their eligibility for healthcare coverage. For companies with employees working across different locations and on fluctuating schedules, manually tracking hours is both time-consuming and error-prone.
ACA-Track solves this problem by integrating seamlessly with timekeeping systems, payroll platforms, and mobile apps, allowing transportation and logistics companies to automatically track employee hours. Whether employees use time clocks, log hours manually, or track time through mobile devices, ACA-Track consolidates all this data into a central platform for easy monitoring. This ensures that all hours worked are accurately tracked and recorded, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring compliance with ACA regulations.
Real-Time Eligibility Monitoring for Drivers and Other Employees
Tracking eligibility for healthcare coverage in the transportation and logistics industry can be complicated, especially when employees work variable hours. The ACA requires businesses to offer coverage to full-time employees (those working 30 hours or more per week), but for companies with large numbers of part-time or seasonal employees, this can become a challenge. ACA-Track helps simplify eligibility monitoring by providing real-time updates on employee hours worked and automatically checking if an employee qualifies for full-time status under ACA guidelines.
As employees approach the 30-hour per week threshold, ACA-Track sends automatic alerts, allowing transportation and logistics companies to offer healthcare coverage proactively, ensuring they stay compliant with ACA requirements. Whether tracking drivers' hours, warehouse employees' shifts, or temporary staff working in peak seasons, ACA-Track ensures that no employee is overlooked, and eligibility is updated in real time.
Automated ACA Reporting and IRS Filing
Transportation and logistics companies are required to file annual reports with the IRS under the ACA, including Forms 1095-C and 1094-C, to report employee coverage and eligibility status. However, for businesses with large, complex workforces, generating and submitting these reports manually can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. ACA-Track simplifies this by automating the creation of these forms based on the data already collected throughout the year.
ACA-Track pulls data from timekeeping, payroll, and HR systems to generate the required forms, ensuring that all necessary information is included. Once the forms are generated, ACA-Track facilitates seamless e-filing with the IRS using its Transmitter Control Code (TCC), ensuring that transportation and logistics companies meet their filing deadlines. The platform also performs real-time error checks before submission, flagging any discrepancies or missing data for quick resolution, ensuring that the reports are accurate and submitted on time.
Data Security for Transportation and Logistics Companies
Transportation and logistics companies handle sensitive employee data, including personal identifying information and healthcare coverage details. Ensuring that this data is secure is essential. ACA-Track provides robust security features, including SSAE 16 SOC 2 Type 1 compliance, to ensure that employee data is protected at all times. The platform uses encryption to secure sensitive information, ensuring that personal data remains safe from unauthorized access.
All data transfers between systems are conducted via Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), adding an additional layer of security when transmitting employee data. ACA-Track ensures that transportation and logistics companies can manage ACA compliance with confidence, knowing that their data is secure and protected.
