4. How many staff (including equity and non-equity owners) do you employ?
Full-time
For part-time employees, please calculate their hours to equate to a full-time equivalent (FTE) based on 2,080 hours per year and round up or down as needed. For example, if a part-time employee works 1,040 hours per year, this would equal 0.5 of an FTE, which you would round up to 1. If you have two part-time employees each working 1,040 hours per year, this would combine to 1 FTE, so you would enter 1.
For seasonal employees, calculate their hours to equate to a full-time equivalent (FTE) based on 2,080 hours per year, and round up or down as needed. For example, if a seasonal employee works 700 hours per year, this would equal 0.33 FTE, which you would round down to 0. If you have three seasonal employees each working 700 hours per year, this would combine to 1 FTE, so you would enter 1.
