According to guidelines established by the Office of Management and Budget: a created or retained job should be reported in terms of a “full time equivalent” (FTE) position. An FTE is defined as the hours worked by an individual, compared with the total number of hours in a full-time schedule for that position.
For example: an individual who works 208 hours in a position where the full-time schedule is 2,080 hours per year, would be reported as 0.1 FTE.
