Manually tracking ACA compliance may seem like a cost-effective approach, but the reality is far different. From missed deadlines and costly errors to wasted time and resources, manual processes expose businesses to unnecessary risks.
For UKG Ready Resellers, helping clients transition to an automated solution isn’t just a convenience — it’s a necessity.
ACA Filings powered by Trusaic, streamlines ACA compliance directly within UKG Ready, eliminating manual tracking burdens while ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and cost savings. Let’s explore the hidden costs of manual ACA compliance and why automation is the smarter path forward.
The Risk of Costly IRS Penalties
One of the biggest dangers of manual ACA compliance tracking is the risk of errors and missed filings. The IRS imposes steep penalties for incorrect, incomplete, or late submissions. For the 2024 tax year, these penalties can reach up to $330 per form, with total fines exceeding $3.7 million per employer annually.
Mistakes can happen easily when handling employee eligibility, coverage offers, or form submissions manually. A simple data entry error or missed deadline can result in substantial financial consequences.
How ACA Filings powered by Trusaic Helps: Automated e-filing ensures accuracy by eliminating manual data entry errors. The system validates forms before submission, reducing the risk of penalties.
Wasted Time and Productivity Loss
Tracking ACA compliance manually is time-consuming, requiring HR teams to collect, organize, and verify employee data for IRS filings. This process often involves cross-referencing spreadsheets, correcting discrepancies, and resubmitting errors, pulling valuable resources away from strategic initiatives.
For resellers, this inefficiency presents an opportunity: your clients need a solution that saves time without sacrificing compliance.
How ACA Filings powered by Trusaic Helps: With seamless automation, clients can e-file ACA forms in seconds — directly within UKG Ready. This eliminates hours of manual work, allowing HR teams to focus on business priorities.
Compliance Gaps and Data Integrity Issues
Manually tracking ACA compliance means relying on disconnected systems, increasing the likelihood of miscalculations and overlooked compliance gaps. Without a centralized solution, businesses risk:
- Inaccurate Full-Time Employee (FTE) Calculations
- Missed State-Specific Filing Requirements (CA, RI, NJ, D.C.)
- Incomplete IRS Data Matching
With new regulations emerging, keeping up with compliance manually is an uphill battle.
How ACA Filings powered by Trusaic Helps: The solution integrates ACA compliance into UKG Ready, ensuring that federal and state filing requirements are met seamlessly.
Lack of Visibility and Tracking
One of the most frustrating aspects of manual ACA compliance is the lack of real-time tracking. Employers often submit forms and then wait in the dark, uncertain about their filing status. Without an easy way to track acceptance or rejections, companies risk missing corrections deadlines, further increasing their exposure to penalties.
How ACA Filings powered by Trusaic Helps: This UKG Ready solution provides real-time status updates, allowing businesses to track IRS and state filing progress instantly. With full visibility, employers gain peace of mind knowing their ACA filings are on track.
Higher Costs in the Long Run
While manual compliance tracking may seem like a way to cut costs, it often leads to higher expenses over time due to:
- Increased administrative hours spent on ACA filings
- Penalties from missed or inaccurate filings
- Potential audits requiring additional resources
Automation eliminates these inefficiencies, providing a cost-effective and scalable approach.
How ACA Filings powered by Trusaic Helps: Clients save money by reducing manual workload, avoiding penalties, and ensuring compliance efficiency.
