If academics are paid a flat rate for 5 or 6 hours work a year, how is FTE calculated for these staff?
It is suggested that institutions estimate FTE for those contracts that involve working irregular hours using total salary information and hourly/daily pay rates. A comparison should be made based on the standard that is set for full-time staff within the institution. For example, full-time staff who work for 52 weeks a year and 37 hours a week will work 1924 hours a year, therefore 6 hours per year would result in an FTE of 0.3%.
