Comment
This is the under/over establishment figure when you compare in-post numbers to the
establishment figures, which are obtained from the finance department. This has been called
variance, as at a top level it is not possible to identify vacancies, as many of the posts may be
held for savings, or are being filled by bank etc.
The latest establishment figures we have are for March 2012 (7218.21). Finance recognises a
different organisational structure to ESR, so the establishment figures have been reconciled
back to the ESR structure. The establishment v actual variance will match the bottom line
figure (7218.21); however, this will not necessarily match at a divisional level, if compared to
a finance report.
The comparisons for April are:
Establishment FTE (March 2012): 7218.21
Average March Contracted FTE: 6764.42
Worked FTE (March2012): 7044.89
Work will be carried out with the Transformation Office to identify which posts have been
identified as part of the savings plan. It is the intention, over the next few months to be able
to produce reports which detail actually vacancies.
