For the purposes of this Rule, the person who owns the dry-cleaning facility shall be referred to as the "facility owner." If the dry-cleaning facility is jointly owned by more than one person, the full-time equivalent employment associated with the dry-cleaning facility shall be the number of full-time equivalent employees employed in activities related to dry-cleaning by all persons with an ownership interest in the dry-cleaning facility.

(1) The number of salaried employees employed by the facility owner in activities related to dry-cleaning operations;

(2) The total number of hours worked in the previous calendar year by non-salaried employees employed by the facility owner in activities related to dry-cleaning operations divided by 2080; and

(3) The lesser of:

(B) the total number of hours worked by such persons divided by 2080.

(c) If a facility owner was not engaged in the operation of dry-cleaning facilities during the entire calendar year for which full-time equivalent employment is being calculated, then the number in Subparagraph (b)(2) of this Rule shall be prorated according to the number of weeks, or partial weeks, during the previous calendar year that the facility owner was engaged in the operation of such dry-cleaning facilities.

(d) For the purposes of this Section, an employee shall be considered to be employed in activities related to dry-cleaning operations if the employee's duties include any of the following activities:
