What does this mean for your planning?
FTE makes schedules comparable, while headcount counts people. Two 20-hour schedules total one scheduled FTE at this baseline, but still represent two people. Use the measure that matches the question.
A different full-time baseline changes every ratio. Thirty hours is 0.75 FTE at 40 hours, but 0.8 FTE at 37.5 hours. This comparison does not determine benefits eligibility or a statutory reporting calculation.

Methodology and limitations
Divide scheduled weekly hours by a 40-hour full-time weekly baseline. Inputs run from 20 to 40 in two-hour steps. No absence adjustment is made. This is scheduled capacity, not productive capacity or a legal classification.

Common questions
Is 30 hours 0.75 FTE?
Yes, if the full-time comparison baseline is 40 hours: 30 ÷ 40 = 0.75. A different baseline gives a different ratio.
Is FTE the same as headcount?
No. Headcount counts people. FTE adds their hours relative to one defined full-time schedule.
Can this determine benefits eligibility?
No. This is a scheduled-capacity comparison. Benefits and statutory reporting may use different definitions and rules.
