See Full-Time Equivalency.
(full-time equivalency): can refer to either faculty or student load, used to calculate enrollment for purposes of funding. One FTE represents a full-time unit load.
Full Time Equivalency, or the relative percentage to "full time" which an employee is scheduled to work. For example, an employee who is scheduled to work 80 hours per bi-weekly pay period is considered 1.0 FTE, whereas an employee who is regularly scheduled to work 40 hours per bi-weekly pay period is considered .50 FTE.
FTE enrollment is computed by assigning a percentage to each part-time student to reflect his course load and then adding the result to the total full-time enrollment.
A staffing metric. An FTE is a unit of labor resources equivalent to one full-time employee, even if some or all of the staff comprising these resources work part-time.
Equals the student's attempted hours divided by the number of hours considered to be full-time for a student at that level (15 hrs for undergraduate, 12 hours for graduate).
Full time employee hours based on 2,080 hours per year.
a method of funding and accountability defined by the State Department of Education. For all credit courses (Advanced & Professional, Post Secondary, and College Preparatory) the number of student semester hours is divided by 40. Student semester hours in Continuing Workforce Education courses are divided by 30.
See Full-time Equated Position.
( ull- ime quivalency) Refers to either faculty or student load, and is used to calculate enrollment and budget figures. One FTE represents a full-time unit load. Per State of Washington standards, one undergraduate FTE = 15 credits per quarter; one graduate FTE = 10 credits per quarter.
Full-Time Equivalency. Relates to the number of hours worked as a percentage of full-time hours (e.g., an FTE of 0.50 means a person works half-time or twenty hours per week).
Full time equivalency, as referred to as full-time employment.
A composite of man-hours that equates to one full time employee. It is a measure of the productive hours that an employee works after subtracting out annual leave, sick leave, etc. The norm is currently set at 1776 hours per year. The FTE is determined: hours per week at function X 52 weeks per year = FTE 1776
A measure of total work force labor hours and/or how much an employee (EE) or independent contractor (IC) works for a company or specific project. 40 hours per week is 100% or 1.0 FTE, 30 hours 0.75 FTE, 20 hours 0.50 FTE and so on. Add together FTEs to get total work force e.g. a company that employs five full-time EEs and three part-timers at 20 hours per week each has a total of 6.5 FTEs.
A measure used by human resources personnel to indicate the number of full-time workers who would be employed if all part-time positions were added together. The FTE calculation is used for budgeting and reporting purposes.
Full Time Equivalency. One or more employee positions totaling one full year of service or approximately 2080 hours a year.
