ACA Hours Report and Notification for Managers/SupervisorsThe MC–ACA Hours Audit Report was delivered to all managers/supervisors Workday notifications on August 11, 2023, and shows all non-benefits-eligible employees at Montgomery College that have worked over 900 hours as of the date of the report. This report will be automatically delivered bi-weekly (on paydays) to all managers/supervisors, even if they are not currently managing any non-benefits-eligible employees. This is because all managers could be responsible for non-benefit-eligible employees in the future.
Affected managers/supervisors will receive the report and a custom notification with their non‑benefits-eligible employees listed below the message. If you receive the customized notification in Workday in addition to the bi-weekly report, you must open the report to see the total number of hours for your non‑benefits-eligible employees. If you do not get the custom notification, no action is required at this time.
Please read the ACA memo that was sent out on August 16, 2023, to all managers/supervisors for more details.
