based on tier (base pay rate) and the actual FTE that is present in the PPDB

hours than represented in their FTE, agencies are required to review and assess
the furlough obligation for each part-time employee to ensure that it is
consistent with the actual work hours. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
