Budget 2004 -- Government of British Columbia.
 
Schedule G
FULLTIME EQUIVALENT 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 by the taxpayer-supported government reporting entity except in relation to the staff of education and health sector organizations. An FTE 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 base salaries expense and FTEs. The table below provides a summary of estimated FTE requirements by special office, ministry and taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency for the 2003/04 and 2004/05 fiscal years. The 2003/04 FTE numbers are restated to reflect program and staff transfers among ministries and special offices (see Schedule A for a detailed reconciliation). The 2003/04 FTE utilization is forecast to be 33,380 FTEs.
