What is ACA?
ACA refers to the Affordable Care Act that requires the tracking of employee's hire status and insurance offerings to ensure all employers are offering their qualifying employees insurance benefits. TempWorks helps you keep track of the important information for Affordable Care Act requirements and allows you to easily audit employee records for accuracy.
Administration & ACA
If you are a system admin, you will need to consider the following options for setting up ACA tracking and related information including insurance benefits.

- Grab your insurance plan details and then set up your employee and employer paid insurance portions under adjustments. Check out ACA Admin: Setting Up ACA Adjustments in Administration for more information.
