9 General Comments The information contained in this report is derived from data provided by public service agencies as part of the Cabinet approved Minimum Obligatory Human Resource Information (MOHRI) process and is a snapshot of the workforce as at the June 2012 quarter. Data is validated at the agency level via the Workforce Analysis and Collection Application (WACA). The WACA is a national database used by six state jurisdictions to validate and store information about each jurisdiction s workforce. Employee numbers published by individual agencies may vary from those in this report due to differing dates of data capture and definitional issues relating to employee status. Agencies are individually responsible for providing the Public Service Commission with accurate and quality data in terms of the MOHRI system. Employees on extended unpaid leave of greater than eight weeks and employment agency staff have been excluded. The figures stated in this report are subject to revision and further validation by Departments and Agencies. Government Owned Corporations are not included in the collection of public service workforce data and therefore some large agencies such as QRail are not included. 9

10 Definitions of Terms Appointment Type Average Age Average Annual Earnings Casual Employment Either permanent, temporary, casual or contract (refer to specific definitions for each term). Mean age of all employees. Average annual earnings are calculated on the salary and regular allowances paid to employees. Average annual earnings do not include one-off or sporadic payments such as travelling allowances. Information on earnings is collected as at the snapshot date and is extrapolated over a 12-month period. Casual employees are not permanent employees and normally work less than full-time hours as prescribed by the applicable industrial instrument. Casual employment attracts the payment of a loading (as prescribed by the applicable industrial instrument) in lieu of sick and recreation leave. Casual employment is characterised by its ad hoc nature with each engagement standing alone. However, because of historical factors there are instances where employees have been employed as casuals on a regular and systematic basis over a long period of time. This is normally not within the strict definition of the term and many such employees should be properly classified as temporaries or part-timers. The difference between casual employment and temporary employment is that casual employment attracts the loading in lieu of sick and recreation leave whereas temporaries will generally receive the same entitlements as full-time employees. Contract Employment Status Full-time Full-time Equivalent (FTE) Headcount Location Part-time Permanent Employment Employees include SES and CES employees and those employed under Section 122 of the Public Service Act Either full-time, part-time or casual (refer to specific definitions for each term). An employee who works full-time hours as specified in the award or agreement under which the employee is engaged. The hours worked by several part-time or casual employees, added together, may be required to make one full-time equivalent employee. Headcount is based on each data record submitted by an agency and represents an individual employee. Statistical Division as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This is based on the location of an employee s work headquarters. An employee who works less than full-time hours and performs those duties on a regular basis. An employee who is employed on a continuing basis to perform ongoing functions. 10

11 Temporary Employment Temporary employees are employed for fixed term engagements of specific periods of time. The circumstances for engaging temporary employees are many and include specific budget allocation for particular projects, replacing permanent employees who are absent from their substantive position or assistance required to meet peak workloads. Temporary employees are generally employed on the same conditions as permanent employees as prescribed by the applicable industrial instrument. 11
