PART 3
What funds were saved by Departments from unfilled posts in each period?
Planning and Environment does not hold data on delays to recruitment to posts and where vacancies occur they usually have to be covered by temporary staff, acting-up arrangements or, in the case of manual worker posts, overtime. It is not, therefore, possible to provide an accurate figure in relation to any potential savings directly related to particular vacancies.
PART 4
How many of the existing vacancies are currently budgeted for and how many vacancies have remained unfilled for a period of 12 months or more?
P&E FTE HEADCOUNT Budgeted vacancies as at 30/05/07 1.00 1
P&E FTE HEADCOUNT Vacancies unfilled for a period of 12 months or more 1.00 1
N.B. All figures within this report exclude seasonal posts.
