General Best Practices

• Electronic Disclosures/Agreements may be the most efficient way to distribute and manage documents.
  
  
• Accuracy in setting the ACA status during onboarding, full-time vs variable hour.
  
  
• Use transaction types correctly to properly appropriate hours, specifically the property for IncludeinACAHours and UnitToHoursMultiplier.
  
  
• Timely end of assignments. Create a process to properly end assignments on a weekly basis if not all the time.
  
  
• The best practice to follow for retro pay is appropriating hours to the right week worked. Make sure that report logic is pulling in all pay codes.
  
  
• Be certain to separate hours into different transaction types for hours of service and hours worked; i.e. separate entry for Vacation from Jury Duty.
  
  
• Audit your process: Make sure to review the ACA Companion Census AQ on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis to ensure that new employees are being determined properly by comparing ACA eligibility status to hours and start dates.

Communicating your Healthcare Offering

• For ease in completing enrollment paperwork, include an eDocument or a link from the Avionté portal to your Insurance broker or carrier site.
  
  
• Export an eligible employee list and provide it to your insurance broker or carrier. The broker contacts them for enrollment. Import the list back into Avionté to create enrollments/declinations in the ACA Companion.

Invoice Options to Consider

• Mark-up
• Bill only transaction
• Straight percent charge on total bill as separate line item
  • How should it be reflected in AR?
  • How should it show up in your GL feed?
• Will require invoice modification if not handling via mark-up
• Any defined percentages will be included when calculating finance charges.
• Consider what logic you’d like to apply
