It\u2019s beneficial to convert the employees&#8217; working hours into FTE to determine the total full-time employees in an organization. Various metrics such as headcount, sales, and profits, evaluate the FTE measure.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It allows you to compare the headcount levels of businesses within any industry.

FTE calculations are done based on the employees\u2019 work hours per week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technically, a full-time employee can be the equivalent of two part-time workers. Employers treat <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/how-many-hours-is-part-time\/\">part-time employees<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a percentage of full-time employees. Thus, it is possible to consider full-time equivalent employees by combining multiple part-time employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employer has to follow various employment laws, but not all of them apply to every company. The number of personnel on hand usually determines the laws that apply in particular enterprises. The measure of FTE determines the number of employees (also known as a threshold) of an enterprise. It is calculated to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comply with the employment laws<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benchmark revenues<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check qualifications for business loans<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Who Qualifies as a Full-time Equivalent Employee?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>An FTE employee\u00a0is evaluated based on the total number of hours the employees have worked in the organization, although the FTE calculation may not consider all the employees hired by the organization. Here are some general criteria for the employees to be considered as full-time:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employee who works in a full-time work schedule as per your organization\u2019s standards is a full-time employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two employees hired part-time who work half of your company\u2019s daily work schedule are equal to a single full-time employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four employees hired part-time for a quarter of the work schedule are also equal to a single full-time employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>The Current Full-Time Equivalent Schedule<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The length of the average full-time <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/how-many-hours-a-week\/\">work schedule<\/a><\/strong> has drastically changed over the recent years. Due to changes in legislation around the world, employees that companies hire full-time nowadays work 20-30 hours less per week than employees from the previous century. Many companies have even chosen the 32-hour workweek schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Is 32 hours considered full-time?\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is both yes and no, as these figures differ in various countries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iamexpat.nl\/career\/working-in-the-netherlands\/working-hours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netherlands<\/a><\/strong>, the average full-time work schedule of the employees is approximately 29 hours and 18 minutes per week. Whereas in Colombia, the average full-time work schedule per week is nearly 48 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to the IRS, a US employee has to work 30 hours every week or 130 hours a month to qualify as a full-time employee. In reality, the employees usually have 32-40 hours workweeks. In many organizations, the most typical work schedule is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/40-hour-work-week\/\">40 full-time hours per week<\/a><\/strong>. Generally, employees work 8-hour shifts for five days every week.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How Many Hours a Year is Full-Time?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying the total number of hours employees work in a year can help you in determining their hourly compensation. While the procedure for determining hourly wages is simple, the actual result may vary depending on the workweek pattern used in the organization. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it a 40-hour or a 32-hour workweek schedule? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many leaves does the company provide?\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;ve determined the weekly working hours and the overall number of holidays granted to employees, the rest is simple. Simply multiply the number of weeks in a year by the number of work hours in a week. For example, if you have a 32-hour workweek, multiply it by 52 weeks. That equates to 1,768 hours a year for each full-time employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, not every company has a 32-hour workweek. The 40-hour workweek is the most prevalent work schedule. In this schedule, each full-time employee works 2,080 hours each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-195045\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-is-Full-Time-Equivalent-Important.jpg\" alt=\"Why is Full-Time Equivalent Important?\" width=\"950\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-is-Full-Time-Equivalent-Important.jpg 950w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-is-Full-Time-Equivalent-Important-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-is-Full-Time-Equivalent-Important-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-is-Full-Time-Equivalent-Important-100x53.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-is-Full-Time-Equivalent-Important-700x368.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why is Full-Time Equivalent Important?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FTE determines if a business qualifies as ALE (Applicable Large Employer).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ALE is a designation that indicates that an employer has 50 or more full-time employees. It can also indicate a combination of full and part-time employees that equate to 50 full-time employees in the preceding calendar year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your company meets the requirements for ALE certification, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcare.gov\/glossary\/affordable-care-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Affordable Care Act&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong> employer mandate requires you to provide group health insurance to your employees. If you are in ALE status, you must also submit your 1094-C and 1095-C tax forms that describe the type of coverage you provide to your team. Make sure to submit these documents alongside your application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Calculate Full-Time Equivalent?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When an employee works a typical full-time workweek, the equivalent of all employees who work full-time is calculated by dividing the scheduled hours of the employee by the total number of hours worked. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers often use a 40-hour workweek to <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XFEFoRgrgH0\">calculate full-time equivalents<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Employees who work 40 hours per week fall in the 1.0 full-time category.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Employees who work 20 hours per week qualify as 0.5 full-time equivalents under federal wage and hour laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of a 35-hour workweek, an employer would simply divide an employee&#8217;s scheduled hours by 35 to arrive at the equivalent rate. For example, when the full-time employees\u2019 workweek is 35 hours, an employee assigned to work 21 hours a week will have an FTE rate of 0.6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of full-time employee equivalents is determined not by the number of employees but by the hours worked. You could have four full-time workers and only one part-time worker. Four 0.25 employees would be equivalent to one full-time employee. For instance, Janice, Ben, John, and Josh could each work ten hours per week for a total of forty hours per week, or one full-time employee can work based on a 40-hour workweek schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Employers can use the FTE calculation for various purposes, including benchmarking earnings or profits per employee comparisons. It is beneficial to convert the hours worked by part-time employees into full-time equivalents when calculating these metrics.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcare.gov\/glossary\/patient-protection-and-affordable-care-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act<\/a><\/strong> (PPACA) specifies how an FTE is calculated. It requires employers to calculate the full-time equivalent to determine whether the law applies to their company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to Calculate FTE to Determine the Number of Full-Time Employees?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the following scenario. You are attempting to determine the HR requirements for a project that will take 1200 hours and require your team to work 8-hour shifts per day. By dividing 600 by 8, you can determine the number of days your team has to work to complete their tasks. It will also help you identify the required number of employees to complete the task in the specified days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1200\/8 = 150 hours per day<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All you need to do is decide the number of people you need to employ and the type of job you will assign them.
