People | Whole Department Family; Workforce Size | Payroll Staff Department and Agencies | The number of payroll FTE staff in post in the organisations in scope as at the specified reference date. Methodology as per ONS QPSES/CO monthly MI collection. The figures reported should align with those that organisations have reported to ONS QPSES and CO monthly workforce MI collection as appropriate. Any differences should be noted.

Methodology as per ONS QPSES/CO monthly MI collection. To ensure consistency with the future planned publication of CO monthly workforce MI returns, departments should report FTE employment in eNDPBs consistent with the organisations in scope for the CO monthly exercise. Any differences between the organisations included for the QDS and those included by the department in their monthly workforce returns should be noted as appropriate. NB: Due to a minimum employment requirement applying to ONS QPSES, total executive NDPB employment numbers may not align with summary departmental eNDPB employment levels published in QPSES | Not set | Not set | All department's Executive NDPBs as reported for CO monthly workforce MI collection. NB: where there are additions or ommisions in the organisations included in the figure for FTE employment, then this should be mentioned in the final column. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | DASA generate Civilian Statistics for the Department, which is used for the QDS.

The paybill costs should include: o Staff salaries; o Allowances; o Overtime payments; o Non-consolidated pot; o ERNIC; o Employers’ pensions contributions. Figure presented should be a rolling annual average i.e. Current period will show total paybill costs for the year ending the reference period, divided by the average FTE staff in post over the year (where the average staff in post should be a simple average i.e. (the FTE staff in post at start of period plus FTE staff in post at end of period) divided by 2. The previous period will present a figure for the year ending the previous quarter. Departments should present a figure as defined, but given that organisations are supplying paybill costs each month to CO for the monthly workforce MI collection, they should look to ensure that, where appropriate, information is consistent across both the monthly MI returns and their QDS. | Quarter | Current = year ending 31st December 2011 Previous = year ending 30th September 2011 | Main department, executive agencies, crown NDPBs (where applicable) and executive NDPBs | HR and Payroll/Finance systems. | Management information | Not set | Not set | This figure is only available annually, as it can only be derived from the Treasury PayBill Remit, so this figure is applicable for the rest of year. | Not set |
Not set | Not set | Contingent Labour Department and Agencies | The number of agency staff, specialist contractors, interim managers or consultants engaged – these non-payroll staff being commonly referred to as ‘contingent labour’.

Not set | Department & Agencies only; | Workforce Shape - Administrative Assistants and | The proportion of staff mapped across to the standard Civil Service grades. SCS staff should be those at SCS level. All Civil Service organisations should be able to map to the standard Civil Service grades - this is the same as the process that occur each year as part of the annual civil service employmnent survey. Where organisations do not operate the standard Civil Service grades, they should supply their best estimate, mapping across to the broad responsibility levels as appropriate. Unknown grades should be apportioned across the grades as necessary so that underlying numbers align with the number of FTE payroll staff supplied above. Where underlying numbers are not consistent, departments should provide an explanatory note in their meta-data sheet. Departments have now been asked to supply proportions in each grade rather than raw numbers. This is because this is easier to interpret and is consistent with the measures for diversity. Organisations should ensure consistency with the information supplied for the Cabinet Office monthly workforce MI collection. Underlying numbers used to calculate proportions should align with the number of FTE staff papyroll staff supplied above. At the appropriate reference point i.e. end of March, figures should align with the ONS Annual Civil Service Employment Survey (ACSES), where approporiate. Any discrepancies should be noted as necessary in the final column. | Quarter | Current = position as at 31st December 2011 Previous = position as at 30th September 2011 | Main department and its agencies, and where applicable, crown NDPBs i.e. CMEC, HSE and ACAS.

Not set | Not set | Workforce Dynamics Recruitment Exceptions | The number of recruitment exceptions that have been approved during the quarter. Where appropriate, organisations should ensure that figures align with those supplied to Cabinet Office for their quarterly exceptions reporting collection in 2010/11. For 2011/12, organisations need only report their exceptions on their QDS - at this stage they do not need to also report separately each quarter to the Cabinet Office. Organisations should report the number of exceptions for each discrete quarter rather than a cumulative annual position. | Quarter | Current = Q3 2011-12 (Oct-Dec) Previous = Q2 2011-12 Jul-Sep) | Not set | Organisations internal monitoring | Management information | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
Not set | Not set | Annual Turnover Rate | Annual turnover rate (Headcount basis): The number of staff exiting the organisation during the year ending the reference period, divided by the average staff in post over the year ending the reference period (where the average staff in post is calculated as the number of staff in post at the start and end of the relevant period divided by 2, and leavers are ALL leavers exiting the organisation during the period). Each quarter’s figure will show an annual turnover rate for the year ending that quarter. The definition used here is one of many interpretations of 'turnover'. Whilst we appreciate that organisations may use different measures for their own internal monitoring, we have opted for the described measure to ensure consistency across departments. Where organisations wish to make other measures available, they are free to do so in accompanying commentary or their meta-data sheet as appropriate. Figures used in the calculation of the denominator should be consistent with those used elsewhere. | Quarter | Current = year ending 31st December 2011 Previous = year ending 30th September 2011 | Not set | Organisations HR Systems | Management information | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
Not set | Not set | Workforce Diversity [Total] BME | Number of staff recorded as BME/ Total number of staff with a recorded ethnicity (headcount basis - expressed as a percentage). NB: Unknown and undeclared ethnicity status staff should be excluded from the denominator. At the appropriate reference date (end of March) figures should align with those supplied for ONS ACSES. | Quarter | Current = position as at 31st December 2011 Previous = position as at 30th September 2011 | Not set | Not set | Management information | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
Not set | Not set | Women | Number of female/ Total number of staff (headcount basis - expressed as a percentage). Each quarter figures should align with those supplied for ONS QPSES and for ACSES (as at end of March). | Quarter | Not set | Not set | Not set | Management information | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
Not set | Not set | Disabled | Number of disabled people/ Total number of staff with a recorded disabled status (headcount basis - expressed as a percentage) NB: Unknown and undeclared disabled status staff should be excluded from the denominator. At the appropriate reference date (end of March) figures should align with those supplied for ONS ACSES. | Quarter | Not set | Not set | Not set | Management information | Not set | Not set | The figure excludes Military, Trading Funds (where we have incomplete diversity information) and RFAs and LECs (where no diversity information exists). The disability field on HRMS was reset on 18 April 2011 to accommodate the new disability reporting requirements, due to change in law. Consequently all personnel were required to redeclare.Disability statistics will not be collected until the data becomes reliable. | Not set |
Not set | Not set | Workforce Diversity [Senior Civil Servants only] BME | as BME staff above but for SCS level staff only. There was an error in the detailed definition supplied for the first QDS - the denominator was incorrectly described as all SCS staff. The denominator definition has now been amended. Organisations were previously (for QDS1) requested to report figures in line with that supplied for the Cabinet Office bi-annual SCS database collection. Given that we wish to ensure more timely access to the most recent available data, organisations should in future supply SCS diversity figures as at the specified reference date as appropriate, sourcing these from their internal HR systems. This will mean that figures are in line with diversity figures supplied for delegated grades. Where appropriate, organisations may still wish to satisfy themselves that numbers supplied for the CO SCS database (as at 31 March and 30 September each year) are consistent with those supplied for their QDS for the relevant reference periods. NB: Numbers may not always align since the SCS database collects information on core SCS staff and therefore excludes some senior staff who may be working at an equivalent level to SCS staff but who are not considered part of the SCS proper. | Biannual | Not set | Not set | Not set | Management information | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
