How does the department verify hours for PPACA if supervisors are not required to approve hours?

For the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), reports will be provided to the departments to allow them to reconcile the full-time equivalency (FTE) in the Peoplesoft HR system with the recorded hours in the time reporting system. Remember that tracking the hours worked is to determine whether an individual is eligible to be offered medical coverage and does not determine pay or the workforce needs of the department. It is the departments’ responsibility to manage staffing.
