STATES OF JERSEY
STATES EMPLOYEES' REMUNERATION: 2008
Presented to the States on 16th June 2009 by the Chief Minister
STATES GREFFE
2009 Price code: B R.64
REPORT
- In accordance with normal practice, the Treasurer of the States has included Notes regarding the remuneration of States employees in the Financial Report and Accounts for 2008 (Appendix A).
- In order to provide more information to States Members, the States Employment Board is providing details of the types and numbers of posts to be found within the remuneration bands used by the Treasurer in the Notes to the Accounts (Appendix B).
- During 2008, 538 Public Sector Employees earned in excess of £70,000, representing 8.97% of the total Public Sector. These earnings include overtime, standby and other allowances in addition to basic salary. They also include the employer's pension contribution of 15.6% that is applied to basic salary.
- Employees who earn in excess of £70,000 include Senior Civil Servants, Chief Officers, States/Judicial Appointments, Doctors/Consultants/Specialists, Senior Fire, Police and Prison Officers, Head-Teachers, Highlands College Management, Law Draftsmen, Legal Advisers, some Nurses and Midwives and 2 Paramedics and 3 Manual Workers earning high levels of overtime pay.
- It should be further noted that the term Civil Servant' includes a number of professions, such as States Vet, Official Analyst, Senior Ambulance Officers, Air Traffic Controllers, Meteorologists, Engineers, Accountants, Customs and Immigration Officers, Modern Matrons, Physiotherapists, Pathologists, Microbiologists, Radiologists and Pharmacists.
- From Appendix A, it can be seen that there were 81 additional employees from non-trading departments earning £70,000+ in 2008 compared with 2007.
Of these, 54 were brought into the £70,000+ pay bracket following the 2008 pay award.
The remaining 27 (made up of an increase of 33 and decrease of 6) can be explained as follows –
• 10 Police and one Civil Servant as a result of overtime incurred during the Historic Abuse Enquiry;
• 17 staff on account of receiving standby and overtime payments, (often relating to being on call):
5 Civil Servants – Customs and Immigration 2 Civil Servants – Pathology Laboratory 1 Nurse
1 Paramedic
6 Police Constables
2 Prison Officers;
• 1 Civil Servant post was transferred from the Harbours to Transport and Technical Services, increasing the number of non-traders;
• 5 new Consultants in Paediatrics and Accident and Emergency.
Notes:
- There were in fact an additional 87 employees earning £70,000+ in 2008 compared to 2007, but because 6 fell out of this bracket, the net increase is 81.
- One Chief Officer resigned during 2008 and although his successor was appointed in that year, neither earned as much as £70,000. Therefore one Chief Officer post fell out of the calculations for 2008.
