How to calculate full-time employees
You don’t have to insure your part-time workers—defined as less than 30 hours a week—but you do have to include them in calculating your number of full-time workers.
Here’s how: Take your total part-time hours in a month and divide by 120. Then add those “full-time equivalent employees” to your actual number of full-time employees.
