InfiniTime Payroll Based Journal
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has brought many requirements for employers, from providing healthcare insurance to reporting coverage information to the IRS.
Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) is a result of one of those new employer mandates, and it specifically affects nursing homes and long-term care facilities (including skilled nursing facilities).
The Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) started to collect staffing and census information in July 1, 2016. It includes full-time staff as well as agency and contract staff.
Long-term care providers aren’t in this alone. CMS created a free system for facilities to use and submit this information called Payroll Based Journal.

How it Works
The InfiniTime Workforce Management system can be used to collect all of the information needed for the Payroll Based Journal. Payroll Based Journal requires detailed employee and time & attendance data to be gathered with specific job tracking data gathered. There are specific job descriptions that need to have hours tracked by job type to be reported to CMS.
Employees can easily indicate each job they perform via the InfiniTime labor tracking system. They can transfer between job descriptions with a one-step transaction via a timeclock, smartphone application, or web page.
InfiniTime can package the data required for Payroll Based Journal and when it is time to submit the information to CMS it is simply uploaded.

Applications
The Payroll Based Journal feature of the InfiniTime Workforce Management System helps long term providers easily track time & attendance data. The employees simply clock in and out. InfiniTime automates the time & attendance data, along with job information, for the Payroll Based Journal submission.
A simple export is done when it is time to submit the information to the Payroll BasedJournal reporting system. The long term care facility then imports the specialized XML file. Reporting is complete once the long term care facility enters the census data for the pay period.
