Q.- We use the lookback method for determining ACA full-time status. We are hiring a new employee into a full-time position (he will definitely work over 30 hours per week). Should we offer him health coverage, or can we wait until he goes through a measurement period to offer health coverage?
A.- You should offer health coverage when he is hired into the full time position (in accordance with your maximum waiting period of 3 months). You cannot wait until he goes through a measurement period to offer health coverage if he is hired into a full time position.
