- Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employees must be calculated to determine employer size. You must take all full time employees (30+ hours per week, average) add those employees to the part time employees (take all monthly hours of part time employees and divide by 120 to see part time – full time equivalent employees). Add full time and part time equivalent employees together to see your FTE #. Click here for more information.
