Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the FTE for a part-time employee, we need to compare their hours to the hours of a full-time employee. A full-time employee typically works around 40 hours per week.

In this case, the part-time employee works 3 shifts of 7.5 hours each, which is a total of 22.5 hours per week. To find the FTE, we need to divide their hours by the hours of a full-time employee:

FTE = (22.5 hours per week) / (40 hours per week)

FTE = 0.5625

Rounding this to the nearest tenth gives us an FTE of 0.6, which corresponds to answer choice A.
