  Full-time equivalent (FTE) is a unit of measure used to quantify the amount of work done by an employee or group of employees. It is calculated by dividing the total number of hours worked by an employee or group of employees in a given period by the number of hours that would be worked if they were employed full-time. For example, if an employee works 20 hours per week, their FTE would be 0.5 (20/40).
