How to Determine Full-Time Employees: Ongoing Employees    

To calculate potential liability for a penalty, large employers must determine each employee's full-time status. An employee is considered full-time for a month if he or she averages at least 30 hours of service per week (or 130 hours per month). As an alternative to a month-by-month calculation, at least through 2014, employers may use a look-back method for determining in advance if an employee is to be treated as full-time, based on the employee's hours of service during a previous period. This section outlines the steps for utilizing this optional look-back method.
