This 
Affordable Care Act Large Employer Estimate report. It includes explanations about the Report Properties dialog pertaining to this report.
For more information, see The Report Properties Dialog.
Overview
The determination of “large employer” status (Applicable Large Employer, or ALE) is based on the employer having at least 50 full-time or FTE employees. The calculation uses the actual hours worked by each employee for each month. Millennium® 3 does not store the data needed to determine actual hours. Therefore, this report has been created to determine ALE based on each employee’s payroll periods for each month; it will provide the company with an estimate of whether they are considered to be a large employer.
Note: Employers that are estimated to be an ALE by this report, or are close to the 50 employee threshold, should ensure accuracy by carefully reviewing their own time keeping records to determine the actual hours worked by each employee for each month.
