A

   

 

AB Alberta
  ACA as part of the aca effort we identified several processes that can run in the background several times per day to run the necessary calculations needed by various steps in ACA.
 

ACA Eligible or Full-time

To be ACA Eligible an employee must average at least 30 service hours per week or 1560 per year during the Initial or Standard Measurement Period. A new employee who is expected to be full-time is ACA Eligible from the date of hire, but, like all employees, is subject to re-evaluation.
  ACA-Eligible hours Each hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance (or being in the state of readiness to perform - on call) duties for an employer. Or each hour for a period of time during which no duties are performed due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), jury duty, etc.
 

Accounting Period Date

A system static date is always a Sunday. If the accounting period date is Sunday, May 18th, then this accounting period includes the assignments for May 10 through May 18th.
 

Accrual Balance Unit

The total number of units accrued by the employee till current date.
 

Accrual Plan: Accrue Transaction Types

Transaction Types allow for paychecks that include supplementary compensation (i.e. Double Time, Over Time) to use separate accrual plans for these auxiliary periods. For example, if a transaction Type DT (Double Time) is selected for the Accrual Plan- ACC PLAN then every time an Employee who fall into the same Accrual Plan- ACC PLAN gets a paycheck for the Transaction Type- DT then the Hours Accrued under DT for the Employee gets increased according to the number defined in the plan.
 

Accrual Plan: Depletion Transaction Types

Transaction Types allow for paychecks that include supplementary compensation (i.e. Sick Time, Vacation) to use separate accrual plans for these auxiliary periods. For example, if a Transaction Type - Sick Time is selected for the Accrual Plan- ACC PLAN then every time an Employee who fall into the same Accrual Plan- ACC PLAN gets a paycheck for the Transaction Type - Sick Time then the Hours Accrued under Sick Time for the Employee gets decreased according to the number defined in the plan.
 

Accrued Unit

The number of units accrued by the employee per paycheck.
  Actual Profit  = Burden Rate * Gross Wages
 

Add WH

Additional withholding of taxes from the employee paycheck.
 

Add-in

Add-ins refer to extensions that are added to external applications allowing for their data to be imported into Avionté.
 

Adjustment

Does not affect taxes, usually a pass-through that does not affect total sales. An adjustment will reduce pay.  A one-time adjustment entered in Time Entry that is applied post-tax, e.g., a charge for a drug test.
  Adjustment + Deduction A post-tax adjustment that is taken once or multiple times. This adjustment is dependent upon whether the deduction is made in either Time Entry or Employee Record.
 

Admin Period

Related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a period of up to 90 days to enroll the full-time employees in insurance. This will be for all new hires or employees determined to be full time at the end of a standard measurement period.

  Admin Period The Admin Period must last at least 30 days and no more than 90 days. It begins when a new full-time employee is hired, or when an existing employee has been evaluated and determined to be full-time. The employee must be offered a Healthcare plan and, if accepted, they must be enrolled before the Admin Period ends. Following the Admin Period employees begin the standard measurement and determination rotation.  A period of time that follows an employee's standard and initial measurement periods. This has a max of 90 days.
 

Admin Period (after initial measurement period)

Related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), if an employee is determined to be full-time after an initial measurement period, you only have up until the last day of the first full month following the end of the measurement period.  Example: The initial measurement period ended on January 4th. The employee has to be enrolled by the last day of February.

  ADP Used to align Avionté application to a client's online Work Opportunity Tax Credit configuration.
  Advance Warning Timeframe The AdvancedWarningTimeframe is a Config Option within Avionté. It is a set number of days prior to an ACA Eligible employee’s last day of the Admin Period. ACA Eligible employees must be offered a healthcare plan and, if the plan is accepted, enrolled by the end of the Admin Period. Therefore, when the set timeframe is reached the employee will be listed on the Enrollment Deadline (ACA) counter, notifying you that action is needed.  The counter is initiated using the following calculation and example time frames:  Measurement Period (12mos) + Admin Period (90days) – Advance Warning Time Frame (30days) = Add to Counter (30days prior to the end of the Admin Period)  Note: To place an employee on the Enrollment Deadline counter as soon as he becomes eligible, set the Admin Period and the Advanced Warning Time Frame to the same number of days.  When setting the warning period, take into account that you may begin collecting benefit premiums one month prior to coverage.
  AdvanceBank 1. This is used for tracking overpayments to Employees.  A deduction is then added to the Employee for reimbursing the overpayment (Default option that doesn't require additional setup)
  Agency In the Avionté application, "agency" refers to an entity that assists your staffing company.

  Bronze Plan The Affordable Care Act requires every state to offer its citizens different level plans, which also differ in cost and benefit coverage. The bronze plan is considered the lowest regular plan offered under the Affordable Care Act and will generally cover 60% of the costs associated with a claim.
  Burden Burden is the actual cost of a company to have an employee. Aside from salary, there are other factors - health insurance, pension costs, payroll taxes - that contribute to the total cost of employing an individual. The Admin Tools: Burden functionality is used to view, edit, and add burdens to the system.
 

Burden (general liabilities)

Refers to the cost of doing business. This is set up in Admin Tool's Burden section.        Bill Amount = $12.00  Gross Wages  = $8.00  Wc Cost        = $0.50  ER Tax = $0.50  Profit  = $12.00- (($8.00 * burden rate )+ $0.50 + $0.50) = $3.00        Profit calculated in this way is never the true profit for any organization. There are always certain costs associated with doing the business. So, the actual profit is derived by multiplying the Burden Rate with the Gross wages. 
  Burden Factor The Admin Tools: Burden Factor functionality is used to view, edit, and add burdens to a specific transaction type in the system. Burden is the actual cost of a company to have an employee. Aside from salary, there are other factors - health insurance, pension costs, payroll taxes - that contribute to the total cost of employing an individual

After determination, all employees continue to repeat the standard measurement and determination rotation as long as they are employed.
  Determining Which ACA Safe Harbor Calculation to Use Your company will have to consider the options to determine which is best based on factors like how employees are compensated, how much administrative simplicity you need, and which method would deliver the highest household income proxy so your plan would have the best chance of qualifying as “ACA affordable.”  According to the IRS article Questions and Answers on Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions Under the Affordable Care Act.  Use of the affordability safe harbors is optional. While it generally makes sense to use a safe harbor if it’s easy to do so, in some cases the administrative hassle of determining whether the safe harbor applies outweighs the benefit of using it.   You may either use the same affordability safe harbor for all employees or different safe harbors for different reasonable categories of employees. You cannot choose a different safe harbor for each individual employee.  In order to enter an affordability safe harbor code on a particular employee’s 1095C you must have elected to use that safe harbor and verify that particular employee actually satisfies the safe harbor. Depending on the safe harbor, the employee’s earnings, and your contribution structure any given safe harbor may apply to all, some or none of your ACA-FT employees.  The affordability safe harbors are “last resort” codes — you only use these codes if no other Line 16 code applies. If an affordability safe harbor code does not apply (or you are not using an affordability safe harbor) then Line 16 will be blank.    FPL is generally the easiest of the three safe harbors to use but is only available if the lowest cost single MV coverage available to employees is less than the FPL safe harbor threshold.  For a calendar year plan the FPL threshold is $94.75 for all months in 2016; for a non-calendar year plan the FPL threshold is $93.77 for the months of the 2015 plan year that fall in 2016 and $95.63 for the months of the 2016 plan year that fall in 2016.   Rate of Pay safe harbor is next easiest. The way most employers use Rate of Pay is to determine if the lowest paid ACA-FT employee can satisfy the safe harbor. If the lowest paid employee satisfies the Rate of Pay safe harbor (and assuming the lowest cost single coverage is the same for all ACA-FT employees) then all employees should satisfy the safe harbor.   W-2 is usually the least desirable of the safe harbors. The 2016 W-2 safe harbor is calculated using the employee’s 2016Box 1 W-2 income — which you won’t know until after the end of the year. Moreover, the W-2 safe harbor assumes the employee was employed and offered coverage for the entire calendar year; if either of those is not true for a particular employee, you must prorate that employee’s W-2 income and annual cost of coverage before doing the W-2 safe harbor calculation.
  DI Exempt A deduction (usually voluntary) that can be taken out of an employee's take home pay in which the deduction could cause the disposable income (DI) to be less than a set limit (typically set to minimum wage, default is Max Percent Of Net).
  Discount Type Used to enable the entry of new discount types for use on the Discount tab on the Order Options item of the Customer section of Avionté.

  Employee Benefit Plans Use the Employee Benefit Plans section of Admin Tools to set up a correlation between a) an employer contribution to an employee benefit and b) an associated employee deduction from payroll. For example, you might configure Employee Benefit Plans for an employer-matched 401K plan, or for a health plan that includes an employer contribution and a portion paid by the employee. 
  Employer  The name of the staffing company filling the position.
  Employer Taxes Sum of tax amount to be paid by the employer for the transaction included in the paycheck.
  Enrollment Period Under the Affordable Care Act, people must enroll in health insurance either through the state or federal marketplace or through a private health insurance company during a set period of time every year. If a person has no health insurance at the close of the enrollment period, they will be not in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. The 2015 open enrollment period for regular health insurance was November 15, 2014 to February 15, 2015.
  Environment An environment is an Avionté Suite database. Generally, most customers have one environment used for production. Sometime a customer will have additional ones for testing upgrades (parallel) or training.
  ER Contribution An employer-only contribution for a type of benefit, e.g., employer-paid long-term disability coverage.
  ESS Enterprise Search Service
  Essential Health Benefits The Affordable Care Act now requires all insurance policies to cover ten essential health benefits to insurers. Although the amount of copayment and coinsurance may vary per insurance policy, an insurance company may not deny coverage for one of the following benefits: 1) Ambulatory Patient Services, 2) Emergency Services, 3) Inpatient Hospitalization, 4) Maternity and Newborn Care, 5) Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, 6) Prescription Drug Coverage, 7) Rehabilitative and Habilitative Services, 8) Laboratory Services, 9) Preventative and Wellness Services and Chronic Disease Management, 10) Pediatric Oral and Dental Care
  Evaluation Evaluation is a feature located in Admin Tools used to create and send customized surveys to employees and contacts.
  E-Verify E-Verify is an Employment Eligibility Service managed by the US Government's Department of Homeland Security. Avionté integrates with E-Verify and displays the E-Verify screens used to gather information that is sent to the Department of Homeland Security.
  Example Paycheck 123: Total Paycheck: $450.00 99.99% = 100%
  Example Paycheck 123: Transaction 1 Reg 10 $10.00 $100.00 (100/450) * 100 = 22.22%
  Example Paycheck 123: Transaction 2 Reg 20 $10.00 $200.00 (200/450) * 100 = 44.44%
  Example Paycheck 123: Transaction 3 Reg 15 $10.00 $150.00 (150/450) * 100 = 33.33%
  Example:   Suppose there are three transactions in a Paycheck 123 Type Pay Unit Pay Rate Total Pay Pay percent of transaction.
  Exemption A person who belongs to a specific group of people who have been designated by the Affordable Care Act as being exempt from complying with the law not only do not have to get healthcare that complies with the law, but will also avoid being taxed for not having insurance. The exempted group of people are: Native Americans and Alaskan tribes, a member of a recognized healthcare sharing ministry, a member of a religious sect that opposes health insurance, someone who is incarcerated, someone living in the U.S. unlawfully, people who have been without healthcare for three months or less, people who are 25 years or younger can remain on their parent’s health insurance until their 26thbirthday, people who are exempt from filing a federal income tax return due to their income level, if the lowest priced bronze plan offered to you is more than 8% of your household income, if you qualify for a hardship exemption.
  Exemption Certificate Number (ECN) If you apply and are approved for an exemption by the federal government, you will be assigned an ECN, which you must cite on your federal income taxes to indicate that you are exempt from complying with the law.
  Exemptions Not used when configuring tiered deductions and should be left blank.

F

   

 

Federal Marketplace The Affordable Care Act requires that the federal government create a website that would act as an information hub and a place for Americans, who live in a state that is relying on the federal government to administer the law, to shop for health insurance. The federal marketplace can be found on Healthcare.gov.
  Federal Poverty Line Safe Harbor The Federal Poverty Line (FPL) calculation has been described as the simplest and easiest to use. This is done by calculating 9.66% of the one-person household federal poverty figure for 2016 ($11,880) and dividing that by 12 to get the monthly employee premium, which would be $95.63. If you offer a plan that costs less than that for employee-only coverage, your company meets ACA affordability criteria.
 

FG

A processing method for Worker's Compensation. It calculates WC from the sum of Gross wages times WC rate.
  FieldName: (parentheses) The field name followed by values and an operator in parentheses avoids the need to type the field name multiple times. Without the parentheses, the structure must be"lastName: Peterson OR lastName: Smith" to generate results.   Example - lastName: (Peterson OR Smith)

Full-Time Equivalent

The sum of all of the non-full time employee's hours divided by 120 hours divided by the months in the look-back period. Example: Assume it’s a standard 12 month look-back and the employer hires mostly part time employees. They have 1000 non-full time employees who work a combined total of 520,000 hours (10 hours per week per employee). Take [520,000 / 120 hours]/12 months. This employer has 361 full-time equivalent employees.

Geocoding is the computational process of transforming a description of a location (usually represented by a postal address) to a location on the Earth's surface in the form of a numerical coordinate. A computer can recognize a specific spot on the earth based on a geocode.    A precise address must be entered into the Avionté application so the system can accurately determine the geocode for the address. As an example, when an address is entered for an employee, contact, etc., and a suggested geocode is not populated, the entered city may be that of a nearby large city, when the actual, precise city is a suburb of the larger city.   Applications like Avionté and Vertex use geocodes to identify a location then determine the tax withholdings for the employee and the employer to ensure correct tax payment.
  Gold Plans The Affordable Care Act requires that multiple plan levels be offered to citizens in each state. Each plan level costs a different amount of money and includes different benefits. The Gold Plan will cover 80% of healthcare costs and the insured person will cover the remaining 20%. The Gold Plan is typically a better plan and may require higher monthly premiums, but lower copays, coinsurance and deductibles.

  Grace Period If a person does not make their monthly premium payment on time to their insurance company, they will be given a grace period to make all pending premium payments before the insurance policy is canceled. Under the Affordable Care Act, the grace period is ninety-days, which means that insurance companies cannot cancel your policy until you are more than ninety-days delinquent on paying your premium.

HireGuide

Found in the Employee Background Check results grid, HireGuide is used to track the status of the background check document request. Initially, the value of HireGuide is empty when the request for a background check on a selected employee is initiated. Once a background check document is received, the value is changed to either Proceed (passed background check), Review (more information needed to make a determination), or Stop (failed background check).

Include in ACA Hours

Hours of paid leave, such as FMLA, Military, and Workers Compensation count toward hours of service when determining employee ACA Eligibility. To make this happen automatically, the IncludeInACAHours property must be set to True for these transaction types.
  Individual Mandate The Affordable Care Act requires that all individuals who do not otherwise have insurance through an employer or private health insurance company that complies with the new standards and requirements of the law, to obtain health insurance by the end of the open enrollment period every year. People who fail to obtain health insurance by the end of the open enrollment period each year and who do not otherwise qualify for an exemption or special enrollment period will be penalized by paying a tax. This new requirement has been coined the Individual Mandate part of the Affordable Care Act. In June 2012, the Supreme Court reviewed the issue as to whether it was Constitutional for the federal government to impose a penalty for an individual’s failure to obtain health insurance under the Individual Mandate requirement and determined that it was permitted under the federal government’s right to tax its citizens.
  Initial Measurement Period Related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the period a new employee has to be measured to be determined full time or non-fulltime. The initial measurement period has to be the same for all new employees. The employee must maintain, on average, 30 hours/week for the duration of the entire period to be considered full time at the end of the measurement period.
  Initial Measurement Period The Initial Measurement Period must be at least three months and no more than 12 months in length. This period is used to determine the ACA Eligibility of a new variable hour employee. If the employee’s determination, at the end of the period, confirms that they are ACA Eligible (or full-time) they must be offered a healthcare plan. If the plan is accepted, they must be enrolled within 30 days of the end date of the Initial Measurement Period. The employee then begins the standard measurement and determination rotation.  After a variable (a seemingly non full-time employee) is placed on assignment, their hours are tracked within an initial measurement period to determine if they are working an average of at least 130 hours a month (30 hours a week) and are therefore ACA eligible.

Penalty (ACA)

The amount a large employer has to pay beyond the 30th full time employee if they have a combined total of 50 full time and full time equivalent employees.  Example 1: The employer has 13 full time employees and 52 full time equivalent employees. This employer is required to offer all full time employees insurance or pay an employee. However, since they only have 13 full time employees, they would not have to pay a penalty because 13 full time employees – 30 would leave no employees left to pay the penalty on.  Example 2: The employer has 33 full time employees. They would have to pay the penalty on 3 employees if they decided not to offer insurance.

 

Penalty Annual Amount

The Penalty Annual Amount is an annual dollar amount paid as a penalty tax to the US government. This amount is charged, per qualifying full-time or full-time equivalent employee, if employees are not covered by a healthcare plan. The field is editable as amounts will change in the coming years.

Think of the Aero platform as an extension of the Avionté Suite application. While the Suite application and Aero platform are currently used simultaneously, Avionté is moving toward the use of only the Aero platform.  
  Platinum Plan Under the Affordable Care Act, Americans in every state must be offered multiple levels of coverage that increases in coverage and costs as the levels increase. The Platinum Plan is the highest level of coverage offered. Platinum Plans will cover 90% of healthcare costs, which means lower annual deductibles, copays, and coinsurance; however, the premiums are typically higher per month.

Rate of Pay Safe Harbor To calculate ACA affordability based on employee compensation, multiply an employee’s monthly salary by 9.66%, which gives you the maximum amount you can charge that employee this year for qualifying coverage. For hourly employees, assuming 130 work hours in a typical month, calculating affordability is based on the lower overall figure when the two following options are calculated: Employee hourly rate of pay on the first day of the plan year times 130 days per month, multiplied by 9.66%.  Employee’s lowest hourly pay rate during the calendar month times 130 days per month, multiplied by 9.66%

Safe Harbor

A term used to describe when an employer has offered insurance to an employee at an acceptable rate as to avoid federal fines; the employer is safe from fines.  Employers are required to offer insurance at an "affordable" rate to the employee but, since employers typically don’t know employees’ household incomes, companies affected by the employer mandate have three options to determine ACA affordability. As long as the employer offers full-time employees (and their dependents) the opportunity to have minimum essential coverage under a plan that meets minimum value requirements, the employer can use one of three affordability calculations, called “safe harbors,” to make sure that plan meets requirements.  Employers must choose which safe harbor calculation to use for all employees, or each “reasonable category” of employees (such as salaried or hourly), as long as the calculation is applied uniformly throughout the category.
  Sales Tax The Sales Tax option found in the System category of Admin Tools is used to set up a state's sales tax for services provided by a staffing company.
 

Sales Tax Amount

The sales tax amount is calculated per transaction item which is defined in configSalestax, configSalestaxRate and configsalestransactionType TABLE.    In order to calculate the sales tax, it has to be selected in the worksite address.  Sales tax amount = Item Bill  * Sales Tax Rate

  Search Type The Search Type section in Admin Tools enables the addition of new search types and the ability to make existing search types visible.

  Sequence A deduction sequence is a group of deductions that will be calculated and deducted simultaneously. Most paychecks will have multiple sequences to process all necessary deductions, as there are restrictions to what deductions can share a sequence.
  Service Hours Service hours are the hours counted when determining ACA Eligibility. In addition to the hours actually worked, FMLA, Military and Workers Compensation qualify as service hours.
  Service Instance A window service that is installed as  a copy of the Agent Software Application.  It is independently managed from any other Service Instance on this server. The Service Instance is named by the user performing the installation. 
  Shared Responsibility Payment The formal name for the tax payment penalty assessed by the Internal Revenue Service to any person who was supposed to obtain health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, but failed to do so by the end of the open enrollment.

  Shift The Shift section in Admin Tools manages the modification of work shifts including the addition of new shifts. 
  Show Employer Contribution on Paycheck Causes this transaction to appear on the employee's paycheck as an employer contribution.
  Silver Plan This is the medium level insurance plan offered under the Affordable Care Act. Under the law, Americans are supposed to be given options of insurance policies that meet different levels and therefore different amounts of coverage for different prices. The Silver Plan will cover approximately 70% of the costs associated with healthcare claims and the insured person will cover the rest. This usually means that while copays, coinsurance and annual deductibles are a little higher, the monthly premium amount may be less than higher plans.
  Similar Phrase Match When a tilde (~) is used with a phrase, the search weights the words in the phrase based on proximity (rather than matching the exact phrase). This search will match any record that includes both "Microsoft" and "excel," and will give the most weight to records that have the complete phrase.   Example: “Microsoft excel”~
  Similar WordMatch When a tilde (~) is used after a single word, the search performs a fuzzy match based on similarity.  In other words, the search will offer results that come close to the entered word, and may provide results that include terms with an incorrect or close spelling, such as "manager" misspelled as “manger.” Example: manager~

  Split Plan The Split Plan section in admin tools allows for the creation of revenue sharing plans for use when processing transactions.
  Stability Period Related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the period of time that follows the administration period. This period is used to prove the findings from the measurement period. ACA coverage cannot be removed during this time..  A measurement period which follows an admin period, where if an employee chose to previously accept healthcare, it cannot be revoked regardless of hours worked. At the end of this period the employee's eligibility status is re-evaluated and healthcare can coverage can be removed if they fail to meet the hours of service requirements.

  Stage Status: Rejected The employee has submitted their current stage and the recruiter has rejected that stage.
  Stage Status: Submitted The employee has submitted their current stage, but a recruiter has not processed that stage.
  Standard Measurement and Determination Rotation The standard measurement and determination rotation is the Standard Measurement Period, followed by a re-evaluation of the employee’s ACA Eligibility status. This rotation continues as long as they are employed.
  Standard Measurement Period The Standard Measurement Period must be at least three months and no more than 12 months in length. If the HealthcarePlanOffered property is set to True, Avionté will automatically calculate this period and when met, determine ACA Eligibility for all existing employees. The employee ACA Eligibility status is then automatically set to Yes or No. After determination all employees, both full-time and variable hour, continue to repeat the standard measurement and determination rotation as long as they are employed.  Related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a period of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months will always be the same each year. This determines their full time status. If the employee works 30 hours /week on average for the duration of the period chosen, they are considered full time.  A global measurement that begins on the date set in the config option StandardMeasurementStartDate, and lasts the amount of time listed in the config option StandardMeasurementPeriod. All employees that are on an active assignment when one of these measurement periods begins will have their time tracked to see if they are ACA eligible.
  Standard Measurement Start Date The Standard Measurement Start Date is the month and date when the standard measurement period begins. The period will normally begin on 1/1 each year. If your insurance plan was grandfathered your start date may differ.

Total Adjustment Bill

Total Adjustment Bill refers to any transaction of type isDeduction=1 that doesn’t add up to the Bill Amount.

 

Total Adjustment Bill example

Example: Reg 40 * 10= $400.00 (isDeduction=0)   OT 1 * 20= $20.00 (isDeduction=0)    Perd. 10 * 10= $100.00 (isDeduction=1)    Mil. 1 * 20= $20.00 (isDeduction=1) --------    540     Bill Amount = $400.00 + $20.00= $420.00   Total Adjustment Bill = $100.00 + $20.00= $120.00   Total Bill = Bill Amount + Total Adjustment Bill = $540.00
 

Total Adjustment Cost

Sum of Gross Wages, Agency Cost, WC Cost, Employer taxes and Burden

 

Total Adjustment Pay

Total Adjustment Pay refers to any transaction of type is Deduction=1 that doesn’t add up to the Gross Wages.

 

Total Bill

Bill Amount + Total Adjustment Bill.    The sum of Bill Unit times Bill Rate. It is also referred to as the sum of the Item Bill.  Suppose, Bill Rate= $15.00 Bill Unit= $20.00.  Then, Total Bill = Bill Rate * Bill Unit = $15.00 * 20.00 = $300.00.  In other words, Total Bill is the sum of Bill Amount and Total Adjustment Bill.

 

Total Bill with Discount

Total bill after deducting the discount amount.

 

Total Cost

Total Cost refers to the total expense amount that is incurred for the sales made. Suppose, the staffing company had to drug test all the employees to be sent to say Client XYZ and the total cost for the drug test is $50 out of which only $25 can be billed to the client, then the total cost appears to be $50.

 

Total Deductions

Total amount deducted from the paycheck.

 

Total Pay

The sum of Pay Unit times Pay Rate. It is also referred to as the sum of the Item Pay.  Suppose, Pay Rate= $15.00 Pay Unit= $20.00.  Then, Total Pay = Pay Rate * Pay Unit = $15.00 * 20.00 = $300.00.  In other words, Total Pay is the sum of Pay Amount and Total Adjustment Pay.  Total Pay = Pay Amount + Total Adjustment Pay 

 

Total Taxes

Total employee taxes deducted from the paycheck.

  Transaction “units”  (Sheet View or Card View)
  Transaction Type  The Config Transaction Type screen is divided into four main tabs that give access to all transaction types in the system and provides many tools to create, view, and configure them.
 

Transaction 

An activity that involves a financial exchange. Assignment record for a given accounting period. A single transaction can have multiple items.  Avionté categorizes these transactions into usable "Transaction Types." 

  Tricare The name for the healthcare program provided to active and retired military people and their families.

U

   

 

Upper Limit Sets the point at which the deduction for this tier will stop.

V

   

 

Variable Hour Employee

An employee that is hired for whom the employer cannot make a reasonable estimation that this employee will be full time or work at least 30 hours for the duration of the initial measurement period. This employee could be expected to work 40 hours in the first 12 weeks, but be unknown for the remaining 9 months of the initial measurement period.  Using ACA standards, a variable hour employee (or part-time employee) is one who, during their determination, is evaluated to have averaged 29 service hours or less per week throughout their Initial or Standard Measurement Period.   An employee who has not worked, or cannot be reasonably expected to work, less than an average of 130 hours a month (30 hours a week) during the length of employment. Factors to consider in this determination include, but are not limited to, whether the new employee is replacing an employee who was full-time or not, the number of hours on average employees in the same or comparable positions have worked, and whether the job was advertised or otherwise communicated to the new employee as a full-time or part-time position.

  Vendor Authority A company that supplies or sells goods, equipment, or services to a staffing agency. A janitorial supply company sells cleaning equipment to a janitorial staffing agency. 
  VMS Vendor Management System
  Voluntary (Pre-Tax) Deductions Deductions that an employee has set to be taken out of their paycheck voluntarily. These will be taken out before taxes, but calculated with garnishments to ensure all required payments are able to be paid.

W

   

 

W2  Employees who work for the specific staffing company as either internal or temporary employee. The primary staffing company pays their wages, insurance, and taxes.
  W2 Detail report Displays a spreadsheet of all employee W2 information organized by year.
  W2 Form Safe Harbor An employee’s W-2 wages for an entire or part of a calendar year may also be used to calculate minimum ACA affordable coverage. Simply take an employee’s W-2 wages for the month and multiply by 0.0966 (in other words, 9.66%). That number defines the monthly maximum that the company could take from the employee’s wages each month to pay for a minimally qualifying health plan. If, for example, an employee’s W-2 showed monthly pay of $1,500, then:   1500 × 0.0966 = $144.90.  To meet affordability requirements under the W-2 calculation, an employer would need to offer one plan for which the employee’s monthly contribution was no more than $144.90.
 

Warning Period

The Warning Period is the length of time prior to the end of the Admin Period that an ACA Eligible employee, who does not have healthcare set up, appears on the Enrollment Deadline (ACA) counter within the Avionté Core Application. The length of the warning period is determined by your company’s workflow and is set in the AdvancedWarningTimeframe Config Option within Avionté Admin Tools.

Web Service

A web service is a tool that allows electronic devices to communicate across the internet. In Avionté, they are primarily used to communicate between external programs and Avionté.

 

Week Worked

Week worked is referred to as the week ending date and is usually used for invoicing purposes. Suppose, John works on the days of Tuesday, May 13th, and Wednesday, May 14th, then the week worked for John will be May 18th (which is Sunday). By default, the week worked is the same as the accounting period, but the customer can specify another day to be the week worked from within the Customer Sales and Service section.

  When multiple Boolean operators are used in a search NOT takes precedence over AND, which takes precedence over OR. e.g. Microsoft AND developer NOT architect.  Use NOT to narrow a search.  “Microsoft NOT java” narrows results to only those containing “Microsoft” but not containing “java.”
  Widgets Widgets are dashboards
  Wizard Used to manage the availability of wizards (A wizard is a sequence of windows used to complete an action. Examples include Add Contact and Customer Certification.) throughout the application. 
 

Work Geocode

The Geocode of the worksite associated to the order.

 

Worker Comp Cost (Wc Cost)

Usually, the Wc Cost is Rate x Gross Wages in the simplest form. But if the transaction includes overtime or double time, then see the formula below.

X

   

Y

   

 

YTD gross

The total gross amount earned by the employee from the beginning of the current year until the current date.

Z

   

 

Zero Cost Sharing Plan A plan available to members of federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) Corporation shareholders whose income is between 100% and 300% of the federal poverty level and qualify for premium tax credits. People enrolled in this type of plan:  Don’t pay co-payments, deductibles, or coinsurance when getting care from an Indian health care provider or when getting essential health benefits through a Marketplace plan.  Don’t need a referral from an Indian health care provider when getting essential health benefits through a Marketplace plan.  Can get zero costs sharing with a plan at any metal level on the Marketplace.  Must agree to have their income verified in order to enroll

 

 

 

Additional Descriptions

 

Burden (general liabilities)

Refers to the cost of doing business. This is set up in Admin Tool's Burden section.  

Example:

Bill Amount = $12.00

Gross Wages  = $8.00

Wc Cost        = $0.50

ER Tax = $0.50

Profit  = $12.00- (($8.00 * burden rate )+ $0.50 + $0.50) = $3.00  

Profit calculated in this way is never the true profit for any organization. There are always certain costs associated with doing the business. So, the actual profit is derived by multiplying the Burden Rate with the Gross wages.

Actual Profit = Burden Rate * Gross Wages

 


 

Core Application or Core App

Core application, or "core app," refers to the original Avionté interface. It is also known as the 'Suite application.' The Core application is part of the Avionté Suite. 

 

 

This interface has been called "core application" rather than "Avionté" since the introduction of the web portals and the Aero platform which are also part of Avionté. Though they interface with the same data, the core app differs from the web portals and Aero in functionality, behavior, and style. 

 


 

Cost Worker Comp Cost

Wc Wages * Rate Percent = Worker Comp Cost

WC Wages * Cost Percent = Cost Worker Comp Cost

Rate % = Changes According to Customer

Cost % = base rate not likely to change

 


 

Gross Profit (GP)

Profit made by a staffing company on the transaction.

G.P.= Bill Amt. - (Gross Wages + WC Cost + Employer Taxes + Burden)

PaymentCost = Gross Wages + Employer Taxes

(GrossWages + EmployerTaxes+ Burden+ WorkerCompCost+AgencyCost)

So,

Gross Amount = (Bill Amt. + GP Adj. Bill) - (Gross wages + GP Adj. Pay) + WC Cost + Employer Taxes + Burden (BillAmount +GPAdjustmentBill)-(PaymentCost+ GPAdjustmentPay+GPAdjustmentCost + CreditCardFee)

 


 

Pay Percent of Transaction

A Paycheck can have multiple transactions included in it. Pay Percent of transaction refers to what percent of the total paycheck amount does each transaction occupy.

Example:   Suppose there are three transactions in a Paycheck 123

  Type Pay Unit Pay Rate Total Pay Pay percent of transaction
Transaction 1 Reg 10 $10.00 $100.00 (100/450) * 100 = 22.22%
Transaction 2 Reg 20 $10.00 $200.00 (200/450) * 100 = 44.44%
Transaction 3 Reg 15 $10.00 $150.00 (150/450) * 100 = 33.33%
Total Paycheck: $450.00 99.99% = 100%

 


Time Entry

A broad term that may refer to an employee entering time for payroll purposes or a staffing agent entering an employee's time into a payroll system followed by the processing of that time (wages, taxes, etc.) through payroll. 

  • Time Entry Process - In Avionté this means creating transactions for every assignment that needs to be paid or billed for a given accounting period.  Hours or units can be entered by either a user or an automated process. 

  • Create Transaction - Pulls all transactions from open Assignments ready to be paid or billed for an open Accounting period.

  • Time Entry Batch – In Avionté, this allows a user to group information in time entry or to enter time for a specific group of employees.  Upon selecting New Batch a New Batch Wizard will open where a batch can be created.

  • Transaction “units” (Sheet View or Card View)
    • Sheet View – Displays all the transactions ready for time entry. Unit amounts can be entered in the Pay Unit and Bill Unit cells.  (By default Pay Units = Bill Units)

    • Card View – Displays detailed information regarding one employee’s transaction.  Accessed in Avionté by double-clicking on an employee’s row in Sheet View or by clicking on the Show Card View button.  Time can be entered either in daily view or weekly view.  

  • Time Entry Batch Verification – In Avionté this section will verify all information contained in a selected batch.  A notification window will appear if no errors were found, otherwise, errors/warnings will appear in the error/warning tab area.  Must fix all errors/warnings prior to closing batch.  A staffing company can turn on/off a specific verification process by going to Admin Tools, config options, supplier, option type, tbv_%

  • Time Entry Batch Report – Report that shows the detailed information of payment and billing for verifying purposes and for correction and record purposes. 

  • Time Entry Batch Close – Upon closing a selected batch all contents will be ready for payment/billing. Can only close one batch at a time. Closing a batch notifies the software that you have verified the batch contents are correct and the user wants to move onto payment/billing. 

 

Total Adjustment Bill

Total Adjustment Bill refers to any transaction of type isDeduction=1 that doesn’t add up to the Bill Amount.

Example:

Reg 40 * 10= $400.00 (isDeduction=0)

OT 1 * 20= $20.00 (isDeduction=0)

Perd. 10 * 10= $100.00 (isDeduction=1)

Mil. 1 * 20= $20.00 (isDeduction=1) --------

$540.00

 

Bill Amount = $400.00 + $20.00= $420.00

Total Adjustment Bill = $100.00 + $20.00= $120.00

Total Bill = Bill Amount + Total Adjustment Bill = $540.00

 


 

Total Adjustment Pay

Total Adjustment Pay refers to any transaction of type is Deduction=1 that doesn’t add up to the Gross Wages.
Example
 

Total Bill

The sum of Bill Unit times Bill Rate. It is also referred to as the sum of the Item Bill.

Suppose, Bill Rate= $15.00 Bill Unit= $20.00

Then, Total Bill = Bill Rate * Bill Unit = $15.00 * 20.00 = $300.00

In other words, Total Bill is the sum of Bill Amount and Total Adjustment Bill.

Total Bill= Bill Amount + Total Adjustment Bill

 


 

Total Pay

The sum of Pay Unit times Pay Rate. It is also referred to as the sum of the Item Pay.

Suppose, Pay Rate= $15.00 Pay Unit= $20.00

Then, Total Pay = Pay Rate * Pay Unit = $15.00 * 20.00 = $300.00

In other words, Total Pay is the sum of Pay Amount and Total Adjustment Pay.

Total Pay = Pay Amount + Total Adjustment Pay 


 

Worker Comp Cost (Wc Cost)

Usually, the Wc Cost is Rate x Gross Wages in the simplest form. But if the transaction includes overtime or double time, then see the formula below.
Type Pay Unit Pay Rate Wc Code Rate Calc. Method Calculation Total
