1. What is Petco's policy to determine full-time status?

Petco's policy defines full-time status as partners working an average of 30 or more hours per week.

2. What is the Annual Core Audit?

The Annual Core Audit is the process to measure partners classified as full-time to confirm if they are working an average of 30 or more hours per week. Only hours worked in full-time status are measured. Partners who do not meet the measurement are moved to part-time.

3. What is the measurement period for the Annual Core Audit?

The Annual Core Audit for full-time partners will include actual worked hours between 7/21 – 7/19. Partners hired as full-time with at least 13 weeks of service will be included in the audit.

4. When will the status for partners who do not meet the full-time requirements change in Workday?

Partners that are averaging below 30+ hours per week will be reclassified as part-time effective August 26.

5. How are average hours measured for the Annual Core Audit?

Full-time average hours measurements are calculated by combining all ACA (Affordable Care Act)- eligible hours paid from date of hire to the most recent paycheck date, divided by the number of weeks worked in full-time status, up to 52 weeks.

If a partners status moved to full-time from part-time, hours worked only as full-time are reviewed.

Time on an approved, protected leave of absence is not counted against the measurement.

6. What are ACA eligible hours?

ACA eligible hours include regular, PTO, sick, intermittent and others, as required.

7. How are partners on a leave of absence considered in this calculation?

Leave hours that are included in this audit are intermittent leaves, FMLA and State protected leaves. Non protected leave hours are not included.

8. Can partners see the full-time average hours in Workday?

Yes. When logged into Workday, go to Pay > PET – Average Hours. Partners and leaders will see "FT Average Hours" that reflects time worked in full-time status from the date of hire to the most recent pay period.

Workday will display a measurement for recent pay periods and update every biweekly period.

9. Is there a Workday report for leaders to view all partners' annual average hours and full-time average hours?

Yes. In Workday, search for PET – Average Hours for Managers. The report will deliver measurements for pay periods over the last three months.

10. How can partners validate full-time average hours?

When logged into Workday, go to Pay > PET – Average Hours to see the "FT Average Hours" measurements.

11. Will full-time benefits continue for partners enrolled in coverage after the Workday status changes to part-time?

After the classification change, coverage will continue until January 31 for partners currently enrolled in full-time benefits. However, partners can choose to drop current benefits by contacting Alight at 855-722-0241 by September 26 and request a cancellation due to FT status change qualified live event. Partners must contact Alight within 30 days of their status change to drop coverage.

12. After status changes to part-time, can partners enroll in the FlexWork Bridge Plan?

Yes. Partners who move from full-time to part-time have 30 days from their effective date of change to enroll in the FlexWorks Bridge Plan. Your coverage will become effective on the first day of the pay period following your enrollment date.

13. If a partner transfers from full-time to part-time, can they participate in both plans?

Yes. When a partner moves to part-time, they are not required to cancel full-time coverage and may also enroll in part-time coverage. A partner could be covered under both plans until the full-time coverage ends on January 31.*

Partners are responsible for premiums on both plans and must present both insurance cards at the time of service to ensure accurate billing.

*Please note, full-time coverage can only be canceled within 30 days of the status change.
