Adjusted FTE
Work measures are ways of accounting for a worker's time on an assignment. Work measures are of two types: FTE and Headcount. In this topic, let's understand some concepts related to adjusted FTE.
Standard Annual Working Duration
You define the standard annual working duration for the enterprise, legal employer, department, location, job, and position.
This is an editable attribute. If this value is changed in the work structure, it’s updated in the assignment as well.
If you define the standard annual working duration for more than one work structure, the hierarchy to derive the standard annual working duration is same as derived standard working hours.
Annual Working Duration
Annual working duration is same as the standard annual working duration. The duration may differ but the duration unit is the same as the duration defined for standard annual working duration. This is an editable attribute and is used in the calculation of the annual working ratio.
The annual working duration is defaulted only when a new assignment is added as part of an employment transaction. For example, Add Assignment and Hire an Employee. In the update flows, annual working duration is retained from the earlier record.
If there's a difference between the frequency of the derived standard annual working duration and annual working duration, the frequency specified for the standard annual working duration is taken into consideration for calculation of adjusted FTE and the annual working duration are set to null. However, while loading data using HDL, an error message is displayed to use the same unit for the annual working duration as the derived standard working hours. If the standard annual working duration isn't specified in any of the work structures, then the adjusted FTE and annual working duration are set to null
Annual Working Ratio
This is a ratio of the annual working duration and the standard annual working duration. This ratio multiplied by the FTE is used to calculate the adjusted FTE for an assignment.
The annual working ratio accepts up to 5 decimals. The annual working ratio is recalculated whenever there's a change in the standard annual working duration and annual working duration irrespective of the Calculate FTE and headcount automatically option value.
The ratio and the adjusted FTE will be 0 when either the annual working duration or the standard annual working duration is null.
Adjusted FTE
The Adjusted FTE is calculated by multiplying the FTE value with the ratio of annual working duration and standard annual working duration. For example, a teacher works only 36 weeks annually, while the standard annual working duration is 52 weeks. The working hours and standard working hours are 20 and 40 weekly respectively, hence the FTE is 0.5. The annual working ratio will be 36 / 52 and the adjusted FTE will be calculated as FTE * annual working ratio, which is 0.5 * 36 / 52 = 0.346155.
The annual working duration and standard annual working duration are editable attributes and the application uses this hierarchy to default these attribute values - position > job > location > department > legal entity > enterprise, in that order, if a value is specified.
A key point to note is that the adjusted FTE is calculated when the Calculate FTE and headcount automatically option is set to Yes and there's a change in any of these triggering attributes.
- Standard annual working duration
- Annual working duration units
- Annual working duration
- Annual working ratio
- Assignment standard working hours
- FTE
The adjusted FTE attribute accepts up to 10 decimals,
