Full Time Equivalent (FTE) : Field
Definition
The proportion of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) standard week that a member of staff is contracted to work. 1.0 FTE being what the organisation deems to be ‘full time’.
Responses should be between 0.01 and 1.5. For example:
• If a member of staff works full time, their FTE is 1.0.
• If a member of staff works 60% of a full-time working week, their FTE is 0.6.
If a staff member works for part of the year, e.g., they are on a fixed term contract, or their permanent contract ends midway through the year, you should input their weekly FTE for their period of employment.
Reason Required
