EPA Summary of <br />OMB's December 18, 2009 Updated Guidance on Reporting of Job Estimates <br />To be posted at http; / /www.epa.gov /recovery <br />Step by step instructions and examples for calculating estimates of jobs created and retained <br />(section 5.4) <br />1. Assess which hours worked should be included in the FTE calculation (the numerator of <br />the FTE calculation). Use payroll information to include only funded jobs; i.e. those for <br />which the wages or salaries are either paid for or will be reimbursed with Recovery Act <br />funding. <br />2. Represent the full -tune schedule in hours, for the reporting quarter (the denominator of <br />the FTE calculation — for a 40 hour work week, the denominator will be 520 hours) <br />3. Enter the calculations for the numerator and denominator into the FTE formula to <br />calculate the "Number of Jobs" <br />Additional instructions for jobs partially funded by the Recovery Act <br />o The recipient should assess what portion of each employee's hours worked are funded <br />by the Recovery Act. If the recipient knows the overall portion of Recovery Act funds <br />used to pay the salary of its employees, but does not have that information for each <br />individual employee, the recipient should adjust the job estimate based on the <br />proportion of funding associated with the Recovery Act. See section 5.5 for detailed <br />examples. <br />o If the employees were hired for a defined period of time (e.g., one year) with a plan to <br />use both Recovery Act and non - Recovery Act funds to pay their salaries, the recipient <br />should adjust their FTE estimate by the share of the overall project funded by the <br />Recovery Act, regardless of when the Recovery money was spent. See section 5.8. <br />o If the employees were hired for an indefinite period, each quarter the recipient must <br />determine the percentage of work hours (if any) funded by the Recovery Act for that <br />quarter. See section 5.8. <br />Additional instructions for jobs paid initially with non - Recovery Act dollars. Jobs paid <br />initially with non - Recovery Act dollars may be reported as created or retained as long as <br />such dollars eventually will be reimbursed with Recovery Act funds. See section 5.9. <br />
