Details of the number of staff paid through the Department’s payroll for the period 2007 to 2015, inclusive, are outlined in the tables below. The details include the gross pay for all staff of the Department, its Offices and Ministerial private staff.
The Deputy will see that the tables set out the employee count for each of the requested pay bands. The employee count represents the total number of staff in each of the pay bands and includes full-time staff and those on less than 100% working patterns.
The Department’s payroll system, from which the information has been collated, is oriented to ensure the correct payment of salaries at defined Civil Service pay rates and at the correct multiplier for the relevant working pattern. Payroll is not a tool to measure the full-time equivalency of the staffing cohort.
The numbers shown in each category from year to year would have been impacted by a number of factors including overall numbers reductions, pay reductions under FEMPI legislation, restructuring, and additional functions being taken into the Department including Forfas, the Equality Tribunal, Construction Contracts and the Low Pay Commission.
