Human Resources
FTE, or full-time equivalent, is a unit that converts employee hours into a measure of workforce size.
What Is FTE?
FTE stands for full-time equivalent. It represents the number of hours a full-time employee works, used as a baseline to measure the contribution of part-time or variable-hour workers. A 1.0 FTE is one employee working full-time hours; a 0.5 FTE is an employee working half of those hours.

Accounting
A general ledger is the master accounting record that contains every financial transaction your business makes, organized by account. Also called the GL or accounting ledger, it is the central record from which all financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, are derived.

Payroll
On-target earnings (OTE) is the total compensation an employee earns when they hit 100% of their performance targets. It combines a guaranteed base salary with variable pay tied to performance. OTE gives both employers and candidates a shared benchmark for expected compensation.
