REPORT
This report provides information about the numbers of people working for the States and delivering services to the people of Jersey. The report draws upon information from the integrated Human Resources Information System (HRIS) and delivers on the promise to report on manpower on a basis consistent with that required of the Private Sector.
Manpower reporting is undertaken as at 30th June and 31st December each year. This report gives details of the number of people employed (headcount) within the Public Sector as at 30th June 2009 and the movements over the year from June 2008.
The HRIS system reported actual headcount as at 30th June 2009 of 6,749 compared to 6,730 at 30th June 2008, an increase of 19 or 0.28%. The majority of the net increase comes from the filling of approved Prison Officer posts within Home Affairs.
The report excludes two areas of the States which are States trading operations, namely Jersey Airport and Jersey Harbours.
Appendix A details the actual numbers of permanent and contract J' Category employees comparing the position at 30th June 2009 with that of 30th June 2008. J' Category posts reduced by 47, or 7.3%, from 688 in June 2008 to 641 in June 2009.

Department Headcount
Headcount pays no regard to the amount of hours worked by an employee, but rather counts the number of people employed by the States; this is in line with the manpower reporting requirements for the Private Sector.
Table 1 below shows the actual headcount numbers for the year to 30th June 2009 and the primary reasons for any large increases or decreases in actuals.

The number of J' Category employees has fallen by 47 over the year to 30th June 2009. This is mainly a result of two departments:
Health and Social Services has reported a net reduction of 41 J' Category employees due to updating residential status during 2008 resulting in many staff becoming A-H category. Also the impact of nurse and middle grade doctor vacancies towards the end of 2008 had skewed the figures as these J' Category staff that had left reduced the number.
The Education, Sport and Culture Department reported a net reduction of 14 J' Category employees. The Department stated that the reductions were due to one teacher taking Voluntary Retirement, 6 teachers leaving the Island and 7 teachers becoming A-H Category through 10 years of continuous employment.
