Manual Edits to Employee Hours in ACA Compliance

Admins have the ability to edit all employee hours from the ACA Compliance Overview page. Admins may need to do this for a number of reasons. For example, Zenefits automatically assumes 173 hours per month for all salaried employees (regardless of full-time, part-time, or temporary status), using the Weekly Equivalency Method. This is because companies tend not to track hours for salaried employees. However, if in reality a salaried employee worked significantly less than 173 hours for a given month, the admin can manually adjust their hours worked.
