Full-time staff in the annual average / full-time equivalent
In terms of the Hospital statistics of the Federal Statistical Office:The number of employees on 31 December does not include different employment modes. This includes e.g. part-time workers and employees, which were only employed in the facility for a part of the year, but not on the effective day (for example short-term auxiliary employees). To take this into account full-time equivalents are built, i.e. there is a conversion to the full working hours according to the collective labour agreement. Overtime and standby services are not included in the calculation. In the Hospital statistics the term "full-time staff" is used. Their number is calculated as an annual average. For some staff-groups there are special conversion factors. Trainee nurses and trainee children's nurses are considered at a ratio of 9.5 to 1 (until 2004 at a ratio of 7 to 1), trainee auxiliary nurses are considered at a ratio of 6 to 1 in the calculation of full-time staff. Civil service conscripts are converted at a ratio of 1 to 1.
Starting from 2009 the number of those full-time staff, who are not in a direct employment with the facility, but e.g. in personnel leasing are reported in addition to full-time staff with direct employment. This kind of personnel is only counted if the respective service is done by the facility and that the facility acquires personnel assistance in the form of temporary employment or the like to do this task. Staff of an external company, which for example has taken over the cleaning of the facility, is not counted; here the (outsourced) cleaning is no longer a service of the facility. Medical staff without direct employment can be freelancers or physicians who are appointed to the facility by an intragroup personnel company. In case of non-medical personnel without direct employment both intragroup personnel companies and temporary employment play a role.
