FTE---- Full time equivalent Full-time equivalent employees equal the number of employees on full-time schedules plus the number of employees on part-time schedules converted to a full-time basis.

An industry’s full-time equivalent employment will be less than the number of its employees on full- and part-time schedules, unless it has no part-time employees. https://www.healthcare.gov/shop-calculators-fte/ For example: You have three employees and they work 50 hours, 40 hours, and 10 hours per week – totaling 100 hours. Assuming a full-time employee works 40 hours per week, your full time equivalent calculation is 100 hours divided by 40 hours, or 2.5 FTE.
