From our Product FAQs

Yes, this is a standard feature. The system will compare employee contractual hours against full time hours. The system keeps a complete employment history allowing FTE to change over time if hours change. The system then uses this information elsewhere, for example for allocating the correct leave entitlement.
Yes, this is part of standard workforce reporting. The system can count the number of people who have current jobs or it can calculate the number of employees based on FTE. The system can also handle FTE calculations where there are multiple sets of full-time hours in operation.
Yes, this is standard functionality. In People Inc. reference 5-day work patterns can be created and assigned to employees; alternatively, a bespoke work pattern can be entered for an employee.

FTE Headcount Calculator

An organisations headcount can be calculated in one of two ways. The total number of individuals employed can be counted or by totalling the number of contractual hours issued in a period and dividing this by the organisations full time hours for the period; which calculates the FTE headcount. Full time equivalence (FTE) is used to normalise the working hours an organisation has available; calculating the number of full-time employees that would be required to perform the work.

The calculator below calculates the organisations headcount based on its full-time hours. This will then output the number of full-time employees this would represent as well as the proportion of working hours which are taken up by part time staff.
