To address your query, two hours per week equate to 0.05 FTE. A full-time employee has an FTE of 1.0 if they work 40 hours per week. 0.05 FTE is equal to 5% of a full-time position.
FTE to Hours is a conversion that translates Full Time Equivalent (FTE) to actual working hours. One FTE is typically considered to be 40 hours per week in the United States. For instance, if an employee works 20 hours per week, they would be considered 0.5 FTE.
The calculation of full-time equivalent (FTE) is an employee’s scheduled hours divided by the employer’s hours for a full-time workweek.
If you have one employee who worked 50 hours, one who worked 10 hours, and one who worked 40 hours in a week, the total hours would be 100. With a full-time week of 40 hours, the FTE would be 100/40 = 2.5.
0.05 FTE refers to less than a full day or week of work for an individual. For example, 0.05 FTE with 35-hour full-time weeks equals 1.75 hours per week.
What is a 0.5 FTE equivalent to?
When a business has a 40-hour workweek, workers employed to work 20 hours each week are 0.5 FTEs.
FTE allows part-time workers’ hours to be standardized against those working full-time. It helps employers calculate the number of hours worked by all employees in their company effectively.
