Before you are able to begin scanning your employees' coverage, ensure you have completed the setup and scanned your employees in the Full-Time Status Tracker. If an employee does not show up in the Full-Time Status Tracker, they will not appear in the Health Coverage Tracker.

When you are ready to configure your Health Coverage Tracker, navigate to the settings screen in Dynamics Payroll Inspector.

Configuring the Company Settings

Company Setting allows you to specify if your company offers coverage before it is required at the end of an employee’s Limited Non-Assessment Period.

By default, the Dynamics Payroll Inspector will consider a new employee’s first full 3 months of employment as their Limited Non-Assessment period. If coverage is offered before it is required, this can be enabled by selecting the option for the number of days following hire and specifying a number, or the first of the month following hire.

You will also define what should be used to determine your employees’ Coverage End Date.

By default, Dynamics Payroll Inspector will use the Last Day Worked field from GP.

However, the following options are available:

  • Last Day Worked
  • Inactive/Termination Date
  • Last Day of Month following Inactive/Term Date
  • Last Day of Month following Last Day Worked

Deduction Frequency

In the Deduction section you will select whether you have weekly or bi-weekly deductions.

The options are:

  • 48/24
  • 52/26

Where are your Benefits stored?

Dynamics GP offers several solutions, and based on the solutions you have purchased your data will be in a specific set of tables. In this section you will select where your benefits data is setup and whether or not you want to include inactive benefit history (HR module only).

The options are:

  • Human Resources
  • Human Resources and want to include inactive benefit history
  • Payroll

Lastly, define where the dependents/covered individuals setup. This will only apply to Self-Insured Health Coverage Plans.

The options are:

  • Advanced HR modulle
  • Insurance Coverage Indicator

By default, the Dynamics Payroll Inspector will pull information from the Advanced HR module. Alternatively, this option can be set to pull from the Health Insurance Coverage indicator on the Dependents Card.

After configuring the above setting, you can now move onto configuring your Affordability Safe Harbor Group(s) and Plan Groups.
