How should employees with both teaching and non-teaching assignments record hours under PPACA?

For the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), employees that have both teaching and non‐teaching responsibilities (e.g., a part‐time academic employee who teaches classes and also works in a research lab), use the full-time equivalency (FTE) to determine the hours worked. The FTE should include the credit given using the teaching equivalency(3 1/3 hours worked per credit hour taught), as well as a reasonable estimation of the hours spent doing non‐teaching assignments.

Visit the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) page for more information.
