Managed Payroll for 75-Employee Businesses
Managed payroll for 75 employees runs every obligation that attached at 50, FMLA leave tracking and ACA 1095-C reporting, while the next line, WARN notice and the EEO-1 report at 100, is one growth year away. BEG runs it for $45 per employee per month, all-inclusive, inside the payroll software you already use, live in 3 to 5 business days.
At 75 the ACA reporting is no longer new but it is where the errors surface. Every full-time employee needs a 1095-C that shows, month by month, whether coverage was offered and what the lowest-cost employee share was, and the affordability safe harbor is tested against the employee's W-2 wages, rate of pay or the federal poverty line. The forms are due to employees and the IRS each spring, and the 10-return e-file rule means they are filed electronically.
FMLA at this size usually means multiple concurrent leaves, which is where the 12-week entitlement, the 12-month measuring method (calendar, fixed, rolling forward or rolling back) and intermittent leave in hour increments have to be tracked in one place. Payroll carries the benefit deductions through the leave and reconciles any employee share that went unpaid.
The startup retirement credit is at the 50 percent level between 51 and 100 employees. The federal contractor EEO-1 and affirmative action duties attached at 50; for everyone else the EEO-1 report and WARN attach at 100, so the demographic fields the EEO-1 requires are worth capturing now rather than backfilling.
The line most recently crossed at 75 employees
| 50+ | FMLA. Employers with 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks are covered; an employee is eligible after 12 months and 1,250 hours if 50 employees work within 75 miles of their site. Up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave with benefits maintained, which means leave tracking and benefit deductions continue while pay stops. [DOL, FMLA] |
|---|---|
| 50+ | ACA employer shared responsibility. An employer with 50 or more full-time plus full-time-equivalent employees on average in the prior year is an applicable large employer. Part-time hours are aggregated at 120 hours a month per FTE. Offer affordable coverage to 95 percent of full-time staff or face a 4980H assessment, and file Forms 1094-C and 1095-C every year from payroll hours data. [IRS, applicable large employer] |
Already in force below that
- Any size: FLSA minimum wage and overtime [DOL, FLSA salary levels]
- Any size: Federal employment taxes [IRS Publication 15]
- 10+: Electronic filing of information returns [IRS Topic 801]
- 11+: OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping [OSHA recordkeeping, 29 CFR 1904.1]
- 15+: Title VII, ADA, GINA and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act [EEOC, coverage of federal EEO laws]
- 20+: ADEA (age discrimination) [EEOC, coverage of federal EEO laws]
- 20+: COBRA continuation coverage [DOL, COBRA]
Next lines ahead of 75 employees
| 100+ | WARN Act. Employers with 100 or more full-time employees must give 60 days written notice of a plant closing or mass layoff. Pay in lieu of notice and final-pay timing on a layoff of 50 or more at one site get planned with counsel, not run as an ordinary termination batch. [DOL, WARN] |
|---|---|
| 100+ | EEO-1 report. Private employers with 100 or more employees, and federal contractors with 50 or more, file the EEO-1 workforce demographic report each year. Job category, sex and race or ethnicity have to sit in the HR record for every employee before the filing window opens. [EEOC, EEO-1 data collection] |

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ACA affordability get tested at 75 employees?
Against one of three IRS safe harbors: the employee's Box 1 W-2 wages, their hourly rate of pay times 130 hours, or the federal poverty line. Coverage is affordable if the employee-only share of the lowest-cost minimum-value plan stays under the IRS percentage for the year, which is published annually.
How is intermittent FMLA leave tracked?
In the smallest increment the payroll system uses for other leave, no larger than one hour, against a 12-week entitlement measured in the employee's normal weekly schedule. A 30-hour-a-week employee has 360 hours, not 480.
What attaches at 100 employees that has not yet at 75?
The WARN Act, which requires 60 days written notice of a plant closing or mass layoff at 100 or more full-time employees, and the annual EEO-1 report for private employers at 100 or more. Federal contractors already file EEO-1 from 50.
