Calculating Full-Time Equivalents

Stefan, a math professional, explains how to calculate full-time equivalencies (FTEs), which compare part-time work to full-time work. He defines a full-time worker as someone who works 40 hours a week. Using this, he demonstrates how to calculate the FTE for a part-time worker, John, who works 20 hours a week. The calculation shows that John is equivalent to 0.5 of a full-time employee.
