Schedule G

FULLTIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) EMPLOYMENT

 
 

                Fulltime equivalent (FTE) employment is the estimate of each special office's, ministry's and taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency’s annual staff utilization. The Budget Transparency and Accountability Act defines staff utilization to include all employees whose salaries are paid directly by the taxpayer-supported government reporting entity. The term "fulltime equivalent" is defined as the employment of one person for one full year or the equivalent thereof (for example, the employment of two persons for six months each). Ministry and special office FTEs are calculated by dividing each special office's and ministry's total hours of permanent, auxiliary, temporary, seasonal and overtime employment paid, or estimated to be paid, for the fiscal year, by the normal paid working hours for one fulltime employee for one year. Taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency FTEs are estimated in a similar manner.   Employees in taxpayer-supported Crown corporations and agencies whose salaries are included in the cost of capital projects are not counted as FTEs in order to maintain consistency between salaries expense and FTEs.

                The table below provides a summary of estimated fulltime equivalent employment by special office, ministry and taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency for the 2001/02 and 2002/03 fiscal years. The 2001/02 ministry and special office numbers are restated to reflect program and staff transfers among ministries (see Schedule A for a detailed reconciliation). The 2001/02 FTE utilization is forecast to be 42,946 FTEs.
