By Full-Time Equivalent Employees?

The calculation of full-time equivalent (FTE) is an employee's scheduled hours divided by the employer's hours for a full-time workweek. When an employer has a 40-hour workweek, employees who are scheduled to work 40 hours per week are 1.0 FTEs. Employees scheduled to work 20 hours per week are 0.5 FTEs.

Who is considered a full-time equivalent employee?

A full-time equivalent employee is a combination of your part-time employees. Each part-time employee counts as a portion of a full-time employee. When you add together multiple part-time employees, you can create full-time equivalent employees.

How do you calculate full-time equivalent staff?

To calculate the full-time equivalent for the actual full-time employees, simply do a headcount. To calculate the full-time equivalent for part-time employees, add up their work hours and divide that number by 120.
