6. Matters for Consideration
6.1 ESTABLISHMENT BUDGETS 2012/13 AND 2013/14
Establishment costs represent a substantial proportion of the core costs of the
Council. The majority of the budget consists of salaries, employers’
superannuation and national insurance contributions but also includes
provisions for sickness, maternity leave, temporary staffing and agency costs.
Contingency sums are incorporated into the budget to provide a source of
funds to meet unplanned establishment related costs which may arise during
the course of the year.
Set out in this report and the table at Appendix A are the key facts and
figures relating to the size and structure of the establishment, the associated
costs and additional information in respect of a number of staff related issues.
The report is based on the information which is available at the present time
and is based on the current establishment. Any future changes that are
proposed will be reflected in the final budget proposals if known, otherwise will
be incorporated at the appropriate point when the budget is revised.
