Add employees to an ALE group.
"Companies with a common owner or that are otherwise related under certain rules of section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code are generally combined and treated as a single employer for determining ALE status. If the combined number of full-time employees and full-time-equivalent employees for the group is large enough to meet the definition of an ALE, then each employer in the group (called an ALE member) is part of an ALE and is subject to the employer shared responsibility provisions, even if separately the employer would not be an ALE." (www.irs.gov)
Is your employer part of an ALE Group?
Yes, my employer is part of an ALE Group. Add each employer who is part of the ALE Group to the Aggregated ALE Group.
No, my employer is NOT part of an ALE Group. Skip the Aggregated ALE Group subtab. You can leave the options blank.
1. Open Connect Payroll > Government Reporting > Organization.
2. Click to select the Federal tab.
3. Click to select the Aggregated ALE Group subtab.
4. Click Add a New Aggregated ALE Member.
5. Click to select the field titled Member. Enter the ALE member.

7. Repeat steps 4-6 to add all of the ALE members to the Aggregated ALE Group (who were members at any time during the calendar year).
The Aggregated ALE Group is saved.
