In determining whether an employer has 10 or fewer employees, are part time employees included? In other words, is an employer with 5 full time and 6 part time employees covered?
Part time positions will be added to equate to full time equivalents (FTEs). A 40 hour week will be used as the standard, unless the contractor provides evidence that they define full time by a lower number of hours (e.g., 35 hours). For example, under a 40 hour work week, two individuals working 20 hours each equate to one FTE.
