CPS Monthly workforce management information 2017-18 December

The following data shows staff numbers for the CPS (both payroll and non-payroll staff) expressed in Full Time Equivalents by Civil Service Grade in addition to payroll costs during the relevant periods.

Data is provided to show the position at 31 March 2011 (with cumulative payroll costs from 1 April 2010 and staff numbers in post at period end) and then monthly updates covering each respective month. This data is published as part of the Government's drive for transparency within the public sector.

Users should note:

1. These figures are not Official Statistics. They are internal workforce management information published in the interests of transparency.

2. These figures have not been reconciled centrally with any National Statistics. Where differences appear between the monthly information and National Statistics, clarifying comments are provided.

3. The ONS quarterly public sector employment survey continues to provide an official headline measure for comparing the overall size of employment in central government organisations with other sectors of the economy at the relevant quarterly reference point.

4. Given the wide range of organisations covered, caution should be exercised when drawing inferences from the figures and care should be taken when making comparisons between organisations. Users of this management information should refer to any additional commentary and notes where these are provided.
