The Full Time Equivalent (FTE) for an ASSIGNMENT of an EMPLOYEE to a POSITION based upon the STAFF GROUP of the JOB ROLE for the POSITION.

Where the standard working week for the EMPLOYEE is expressed in EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORKING HOURS per week, it is calculated as follows:

for example, if contracted working hours per week is 20 and the STAFF GROUP STANDARD HOURS is 37.5 per week, then 20 / 37.5 gives an ASSIGNMENT CONTRACTED FTE of 0.53

Where the standard working week for the EMPLOYEE is expressed in EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORKING SESSIONS per week, it is calculated as follows:

for example, if contracted working sessions per week is 5 and the STAFF GROUP STANDARD SESSIONS is 11 per week, then 5 / 11 gives an ASSIGNMENT CONTRACTED FTE of 0.45.

Should the EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORKING HOURS or EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORKING SESSIONS; or the STAFF GROUP STANDARD HOURS or STAFF GROUP STANDARD SESSIONS change then ASSIGNMENT CONTRACTED FTE should be recalculated to reflect the new values.

Although the value this attribute is recording is derivable if needed in any subsequent data analyses, it is more convenient for the abstracting of data if this is a recorded value rather than requiring a calculation based upon other attributes when abstraction takes place.
