Heltidstidsprocent

Heltidstidsprocent, often translated as full-time equivalent percentage or FTE percentage, is a metric used to quantify the extent to which an employee is engaged in a role. It represents the proportion of a standard full-time working week that an individual employee is contracted to work. For example, an employee working 20 hours per week in a role where full-time is defined as 40 hours per week would have a heltidstidsprocent of 50%.

This concept is particularly relevant in employment contracts, human resources, and statistical reporting. It allows organizations to standardize the measurement of workforce capacity and cost, regardless of whether employees work full-time, part-time, or on a job-sharing basis. By converting all employee hours into a comparable heltidstidsprocent, businesses can gain a clearer understanding of their total labor input.

The calculation is typically straightforward: (actual hours worked per week / standard full-time hours per week) * 100. It is a vital tool for workforce planning, budgeting, and analyzing productivity. Different countries or even different organizations may have slightly varying definitions of a standard full-time work week, which can influence the exact percentage, but the underlying principle remains consistent. This metric is crucial for accurate labor cost allocation and for understanding the overall staffing levels within an organization.
