FTE Commitments Clause Samples
The FTE Commitments clause defines the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel that a party is obligated to dedicate to a project or service. It typically specifies the minimum staffing levels required, outlines how FTEs are calculated (such as combining part-time staff to equal a full-time role), and may set expectations for maintaining these commitments throughout the contract term. This clause ensures that sufficient resources are consistently allocated, helping to guarantee project continuity and performance standards are met.
