Foreword

The Australian Public Service Statistical Bulletin 2015–16 presents a summary of employment under the Public Service Act 1999 at 30 June 2016 and for the preceding financial year. The Bulletin also includes summary data for the past 15 years. The Bulletin is a valuable resource for agencies to assist them with workforce planning, in benchmarking their workforces against other agencies and against APS averages.

The data source for the Bulletin is the APS Employment Database. Employee data is provided by APS agencies and sourced from their HR information systems.

The Bulletin serves as a public record for the annual snapshot of APS employment.

Introduction

The Australian Public Service Statistical Bulletin is a statistical overview of Australian Public Service (APS) employment produced on a financial year basis. It is part of the State of the Service series. It provides details of those employed under the authority of the Public Service Act 1999 (the PS Act). Employees in Commonwealth-owned companies, statutory authorities, the Australian Defence Force and government business enterprises who are not employed under the PS Act are not included. State and local government employees are also not included.

Source of dataThe data source for the Bulletin is the APS Employment Database (APSED).

APSED records information for both ongoing and non-ongoing employees, including employees on leave without pay. Agencies provide data from their human resources information systems to the Commission about employee movements such as engagements, promotions and separations, as well as a ‘snapshot’ for all employees at 30 June and 31 December each year. This information is used to verify and, where necessary, update APSED data. Although the Commission has tried to ensure data integrity and has undertaken an extensive audit of data provided by agencies, it is not responsible for inaccuracies in the data supplied.

About the dataA headcount approach underpins the Bulletin—that is, people working part-time are aggregated with people working full-time without weighting.

Time series data reflects the APS as it was at a particular point in time. When comparing trends over time, the data may vary due to coverage changes within the PS Act. See Appendix 3 and 4 for further details on PS Act coverage changes and machinery of government changes.

Due to differences in data definitions and reporting requirements, there may be variations between data in this publication and that published by individual agencies.

Where proportions are presented, results have been rounded to the first decimal place. Due to this rounding, the percentage results for some tables may not add exactly to the total shown.

Data includes inoperative employees, unless indicated.

This Bulletin includes data about base or substantive classification, as well as temporary assignment and paid classification. Tables are clearly marked to show which classification is used.

Each year, extensive audits and error checking of APSED are undertaken, and errors in the historical data are corrected. The following points should be taken into consideration when making comparisons between data in this publication and data previously published.

Previously published data for both ongoing and non-ongoing employees may have been revised and therefore may not necessarily be comparable with that in previous years’ publications.

Diversity data published by the Commission may differ from that published by some agencies. In 2001, an independent review was undertaken of the Commission’s then current practice of retrospectively changing a person’s diversity status if it changed during their employment. The review supported the continuation of the practice for reporting for non-English speaking background (NESB) and Indigenous status as these characteristics are likely to be constant throughout an employee’s career. Disability, however, may change over time and APSED has been modified to record the status change for an individual and the date that change was loaded into APSED.

The provision of some diversity data by APS employees to their agency is voluntary. Therefore, as with any large voluntary data collection, APSED tends to under-represent the number of Indigenous Australians, people with a disability and NESB employees.

This report is based on data as at 30 June 2016. Since that date, there have been Machinery of Government movements; these are not reflected in this Bulletin because they occurred after 30 June 2016. They will be reported in the 2016–17 Bulletin.

The APSED Internet Interface (APSEDii)APSEDii is a series of dashboards that allow public access to data collected by APSED. Additional data collected by the APSC will also be made available in APSEDii. The dashboards provide the ability to manipulate and drill down into the data. There are two types of access—a limited version that allows general public access and a restricted version that requires a login. The restricted version is more extensive and provides additional features to assist with workforce planning and the ability to make comparisons between agencies. The limited access version is generally available only to APS employees for HR and workforce planning purposes.

Section 1: All employees

This section provides data about ongoing and non-ongoing employees. It shows the population of the APS over the past 15 years, and a profile of the June 2016 population. Definitions for both ‘ongoing’ and ‘non-ongoing’ employees are provided in Appendix 1.

Classification structures To allow comparisons over time, this analysis has used substantive or base classification, excluding employees on temporary assignment at a classification different to their base classification. Temporary assignment is discussed in detail in Section 3: Ongoing employees.

Table B compares all employee numbers by base classification at June 2002, 2015 and 2016. The classifications with a decrease from 2015 to 2016 were: APS 1, with a decrease of 416 employees, or 9.6%, EL 1 with a decrease of 366 employees, or 1.4%, and EL 2 with a decrease of 38 employees, or 0.3%. The classification with the greatest percentage increase from 2015 to 2016 was Trainee, with an increase of 140.4%, representing 299 employees. The agencies with the largest increase in Trainee employees were Immigration and Border Protection and Human Services.

Over the past 15 years, the classification profile of the APS has seen a consistent and strong shift. There has been a decline in the proportion of employees at the APS 1–2 and the APS 3–4 classifications, by 5.8 and 5.1 percentage points respectively. There were increases in the proportion of employees at the APS 5–6 classifications, up by 4.7 percentage points, and the EL classifications, up by 5.8 percentage points. As a proportion of all employees, the SES increased from 1.4% at June 2002 to 1.7% at June 2016. These shifts in proportions are shown in Figure 2 below.

This trend towards a higher classification profile at least partly reflects the changing nature of APS employment, with a more skilled workforce undertaking increasingly more complex and difficult roles.

Employment of men and women Women accounted for the majority of APS employees, with a representation of 58.4% of ongoing employees and 59.0% of all employees. This is an increase from the ongoing representation of 57.9%, and a total representation of 58.4% last year. The number of women in the APS increased by 3.3%, from 88,979 at June 2015 to 91,947 at June 2016, and the number of men increased by 0.9%, from 63,274 at June 2015 to 63,824 at June 2016.

8

The representation of men and women varies considerably amongst agencies. Of agencies with at least 1,000 employees, the agencies with the highest proportion of women were the National Disability Insurance Agency with 74.6%, followed by Human Services, with women representing 71.6% of ongoing employees. Large agencies with the highest proportion of men were the Bureau of Meteorology with 69.6%, and Defence, with men representing 58.9% of ongoing employees.

9

Over the past 15 years, the representation of women in the APS has increased from 52.8% to 59.0% of all employees. In general, more women are still employed at lower classifications than men. Figure 4 shows the highest concentration of women is at the APS 4 and the APS 6 classifications, with 23.1% and 20.0% of women at these classifications respectively. For men, the highest concentration is at the APS 6 and EL 1 classifications, with 22.4% and 19.7% of men at these classifications respectively. The proportion of women at the EL 2 classification is 5.5%, which is around half that of men with 10.1% at the EL 2 classification; this trend continues throughout the SES classifications.

APS workforce age profile At June 2016 the largest age group was employees aged 50 to 54 years, representing 14.2% of all employees. This is a decrease from 14.7% at June 2015. The largest increase from June 2015 to June 2016 was the 20 to 24 age group, increasing from 3.4% to 3.8% of all employees. This was followed by an increase in the 55 to 59 and 60 years and over age groups—both groups increased by 0.3%. At June 2016, the mean age of all employees in the APS was 43.0 years. For men the mean age was 44.0 years and for women it was 42.4 years.

Figure 5 shows the mean age of all employees for selected classifications, by sex, at June 2016. In general, mean age increases with classification. The mean age for men is higher than that for women for most classifications, except at the APS 1 classification where the mean age of women is higher, and the APS 3 and APS 4 classifications where the mean age is equal.

10

Agency age profiles vary substantially. Of the agencies with at least 1,000 employees at June 2016, the Australian Electoral Commission and Veterans’ Affairs had the oldest age profiles, with 68.5% and 58.7% aged 45 years and over, respectively. In contrast, the Attorney-General’s Department and Treasury had the lowest proportion of employees 45 years of age and over, with 28.4% and 30.9%, respectively.

Representation of employees less than 25 years of age has increased this year after a consistent and steady downward trend. At June 2016, 4.2% of all employees were in this age group, up from 3.7% last year. This is the first increase that has occurred in this cohort since June 2007, where this age group accounted for 6.2% of all employees.

The proportion of employees 50 years of age and over has grown significantly over time, increasing from 20.8% of all employees at June 2002 to 31.8% at June 2016. This growth reflects the impact of government policies that encourage older employees to remain in the workforce or to return after taking early retirement. It also reflects the removal from the PS Act of compulsory age-65 retirement in 1999. These initiatives have facilitated increased recruitment of older employees and reduced their separation rates.

Figure 6 shows the shifting age profile of the APS, with an increased representation of older employees coinciding with a decrease in younger employees. This figure shows that the 55-59 years age group has increased by 4.7 percentage points, and the 60 years and over age group has increased by 5.2 percentage points since June 2002. In this same period the 25 to 29 years age group decreased by 2.8 percentage points.

11

Figure 7 shows the APS has a more middle-aged age profile than the Australian labour force.

Location At June 2016 the location with the highest proportion of APS employees was the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), with 37.2% of all employees. Generally, the proportion of employees located in the ACT increases at higher classifications. For example, at June 2016, 59.9% of all EL employees and 72.9% of all SES employees were in the ACT, compared with 16.7% of APS 1–2 employees and 15.7% of APS 3–4 employees. The majority of the APS is located outside the ACT.

There is considerable variation amongst agencies in the proportion of employment inside and outside of the ACT.

Section 2: Non-ongoing employees

This section provides data and information about non-ongoing APS employees. Non-ongoing employees are those engaged under s22(2)(b) and (c) of the PS Act.

The number of non-ongoing employees increased this year from 15,729 at June 2015 to 17,923 at June 2016. This is an increase of 2,194 or 13.9%, after increasing by 20.7% from 2014 to 2015. Figure 1 (page 3) shows the non-ongoing numbers from June 2002 to June 2016. At June 2016, non-ongoing employees accounted for 11.5% of total employees.

Non-ongoing employment type There are three types of non-ongoing employment: specified term, specified task and irregular/intermittent. Figure 8 shows that the proportion of specified term employees increased from 42.1% of all non-ongoing employees at June 2015 to 45.1% at June 2016. Irregular/intermittent employees decreased from 53.8% at June 2015 to 52.2% at June 2016. These changes are not consistent with the trend from June 2002 to June 2014 of specified term employees decreasing and irregular/intermittent employees increasing. In this timeframe specified term employees decreased from 85.5% to 33.4%, and irregular/intermittent employees increased from 12.4% to 61.2%.

32

Non-ongoing age profileAt June 2016, 18.6% of non-ongoing employees were less than 25 years of age, compared with only 2.3% of ongoing employees. Non-ongoing employees also had a higher representation in the 55 years and over age group, with 19.8% of non-ongoing employees compared to 17.3% of ongoing employees.

Non-ongoing classification profile Figure 9 shows that the classification profile of non-ongoing employees is generally concentrated at lower classification levels. At June 2016, 32.6% of non-ongoing employees were at the APS 1–2 classifications, compared with 2.3% of ongoing employees. The proportion of non-ongoing employees at the EL classifications was 7.4%, compared with 25.9% of ongoing employees.

Section 3: Ongoing employees

This section provides data and information about ongoing APS employees. Ongoing employees are those engaged under s22(2)(a) of the PS Act. Diversity information for ongoing employees is provided in Section 5: Diversity. At June 2016, there were 137,848 ongoing employees in the APS, an increase of 1,324 or 1.0% from the previous year.

Classification profileFigure 10 shows that the classification profile of ongoing employees is shifting towards higher classification levels. At June 2002, 21.8% of ongoing employees were at the APS 1-3 classifications, compared to 13.3% at June 2016. The proportion of employees at the EL classifications increased from 19.1% at June 2002 to 25.9% at June 2016.

One measure of a shifting classification profile is change over time in the ratio of EL 2 employees to employees at lower classifications. Over the past 15 years, the ratio decreased from 13:1 employees at lower classifications for each EL 2 to 11:1 employees.

Temporary assignment At June 2016, 13.0% of all ongoing employees were on temporary assignment, usually at a higher classification level. Of this group, APS 6 represented the highest proportion with 26.9% of employees on temporary assignment at this classification, followed by EL 1 with 24.1% and APS 5 with 23.8%.

Most employees on temporary assignment are performing duties at a higher classification. Including temporary assignment in any analysis of classification would skew the profile slightly away from lower classifications and towards higher classifications. For example, using base classification, 43,284 employees were at the APS 3–4 classifications, representing 31.4% of all ongoing employees, but this declined to 37,897, or 27.5% of all ongoing employees when temporary assignment was included. Similarly, the size of the SES increased from 2,544, representing 1.8% of all ongoing employees, to 3,021, or 2.2% of all ongoing employees when temporary assignment was included.

Educational qualifications As of 1 July 2013, a new clause in the Australian Public Service Commissioner’s Directions 2013 requires agency heads to ensure measures are put in place to collect certain personal information from each employee and provide this information to the

39

Commissioner. This requirement includes educational qualifications and diversity information for employees. As at June 2016, educational qualification data has been completed for 54.0% of ongoing employees, down from 56.3% at June 2015.

The following data is expressed as a proportion of employees whose qualifications are known. Over time, the proportion of APS

employees with graduate qualifications has steadily increased. At June 2016, 61.3% of ongoing employees had graduate qualifications, up from 61.0% last year. At June 2007, the proportion of ongoing employees with graduate qualifications was 54.8%.

Length of service At June 2016, the median length of service for ongoing employees was 10.4 years, up from 9.8 years at June 2015.

Figure 11 shows that the proportion of ongoing employees with fewer than five years of service at June 2016 was 18.2%, the same as June 2015. This follows a steady decline from June 2009. The proportion with 30 or more years of service was 5.1% at June 2016, an increase from 4.4% at June 2002.

40

Length at level At June 2016, the median length at level for all ongoing employees was 6.3 years, the same as June 2015. At June 2012, the median was 4.4 years for all ongoing employees.

Figure 12 shows that, with the exception of SES, the median length at level has been steadily increasing for the past few years. For the APS 3–4 classifications, the median length at level was 7.4 years at June 2016, up from 7.1 years in 2015. SES employees showed the only decrease, with the median length at level of 5.4 years at June 2016, down from 5.8 years in 2015.

Section 4: Movements of ongoing employees

During 2015–16, there were 11,005 engagements and 9,759 separations of ongoing employees. The number of engagements included 727 ongoing employees who moved into coverage of the PS Act. The number of separations included 299 ongoing employees who moved out of coverage of the PS Act. Engagements increased by 362.4% from the previous year and separations decreased by 8.5%. Figure 13 shows the number of engagements and separations of ongoing employees for the past 15 years. It shows that the number of engagements increased after a decline over the previous four years.

Engagements During 2015–16, the number of ongoing engagements increased by 362.4%, after decreasing by 48.7% in 2014–15. This year saw increases in the number of engagements across all classifications. Compared to 2014–15, the classification with the largest percentage increase of engagements occurred at the APS 3–4 classification, increasing by 1,136.1% or 4,408 engagements, followed by the APS 5–6 classification increasing by 559.8% or 2,228.

Figure 14 shows that the greatest decline in engagements from 2014–15 to 2015–16, as a proportion of all ongoing engagements, was the Trainee and Graduate classification group, with a decrease of 33.9%. This is due to Trainees and Graduates having a high proportion of ongoing engagements over the last few years when engagements at all other classifications were restricted. During 2015–16, 1,649 Trainees and Graduates were engaged, an increase of 485 or 41.7% from 1,164 in 2014–15.

72

Figure 15 shows that the representation of ongoing engagements sharply decreased in the under 25 years age group. This can be attributed to the decrease in the proportion of graduates engaged-—10.3% of engagements in 2015-16 were at the graduate classification, compared to 43.6% in the previous year. Engagements of employees aged 35–44 increased from 14.0% of all ongoing engagements in 2014–15 to 21.4% in 2015–16.

73

Women accounted for 60.3% of all ongoing engagements during 2015–16, higher than their representation of 58.4% of all ongoing employees at June 2016.

The mean age of those engaged in 2015–16 was 34.3 years. For men the mean age was 34.4 years and for women it was 34.3 years.

Separations There were 9,759 separations of ongoing employees during 2015–16, a decrease of 8.5% from the 10,662 separations in the previous year.

Women accounted for 53.0% of all ongoing separations from the APS during 2015–16, lower than their ongoing representation of 58.4% at June 2016.

The number of resignations during 2015–16 was greater than the number of retrenchments for the first time since 2013. Resignations increased from 34.8% of all separations in 2014–15 to 42.0% in 2015–16. Retrenchments decreased from 42.7% to 29.1% of all separations. In 2015-16 age retirements accounted for 20.5% of all separations, an increase from 17.4% last year. The number of terminations in 2015–16 was 163, or 1.7%, compared to 141, or 1.3% last year.

This financial year was the second year data was collected to identify voluntary and involuntary redundancies. During 2015–16, 91.7% of retrenchments were voluntary and 4.1% were involuntary. The remaining 4.2% were SES Retirements. Compared to 2014–15, involuntary retrenchments decreased by 1.3%, and voluntary retrenchments increased by 0.4%.

74

Figure 17 shows the natural attrition rate for the APS in 2015–16 was 4.4%, up from 4.0% in 2014–15. Natural attrition includes resignations and age retirements only. The rate of other separations has decreased from 3.6% to 2.7% due to the decrease in the number of retrenchments. The overall separation rate from the APS was 7.1%, down from 7.6% during 2014–15.

Mobility within the APS Figure 18 shows how mobility between agencies has varied over the past 15 years. During 2015–16 the overall mobility rate of 2.4% was an increase from 1.6% in 2014-15. The transfer rate increased from 1.3% to 1.6% and the promotion rate increased from 0.4% to 0.8%.

Mobility has consistently been higher for women than for men. During 2015–16, the mobility rate for women was 2.6%, up from 1.8% in 2014–15. The mobility rate for men was 2.2%, up from

1.3% in 2014–15.

In general, mobility between agencies is higher at higher classifications. The mobility rate for the SES was 7.7%, up from 5.3% in the previous year. Mobility for EL employees was 3.5%, up from 1.8%, and mobility for APS 1–6 employees was 1.9%, up from 1.5%.

As expected, the number of agencies an employee has worked in increases at higher classification levels, similar to mobility between agencies. Of the current ongoing SES employees, 38.4% worked in only one agency compared with 62.6% of EL employees and 83.2% of APS 1–6 employees. At June 2016, 19.3% of SES employees worked in four or more agencies, compared with 6.6% of EL and 1.3% of APS 1–6 employees.

Section 5: Diversity

Under Clause 7.6 (1) of the Australian Public Service Commissioner’s Directions 2013 an Agency Head must ensure that there are measures in place to collect certain information from employees of their agency and to give that information to the Commissioner. This includes information about an employee’s Indigenous status, their disability status and certain information that is used to derive an employee’s non-English speaking background (NESB) status.

With the exception of gender, diversity data is supplied to agencies by individuals on a voluntary basis. As with any large voluntary data collection, APSED data tends to under-represent the number and proportion of Indigenous Australians, people with disability, and employees from a non-English speaking background in the APS.

The Commission continues to work with agencies to increase the number of employees that provide their diversity data to their agency, and to improve the quality of data provided by agencies to APSED. There have been some improvements, however the overall quality of the data continues to be poor and there are a number of agencies that still provide little or no data about the diversity status of their employees.

The proportion of NESB employees has decreased from 14.7% at June 2015 to 14.5% at June 2016. This includes both NESB 1 and NESB 2. Appendix 1 provides an explanation of NESB.

Figure 19 shows the change in the representation of the four diversity groups from their proportion at June 2002. Each of these proportions is weighted by the ratio of the June 2002 total ongoing APS number, to the number of employees in the respective diversity group at June 2002. Weighting eliminates the effects that the changes in the overall size of the APS have on representation. The index is given a value of 100 at June 2002, and rises and falls proportionally with the particular group’s change in the weighted number over time. For example, at June 2002 the number of Indigenous employees was 3,058 out of an ongoing APS population of 112,232. By June 2016 the number of Indigenous employees had risen to 3,972 and the ongoing APS number had risen to 137,848. Therefore the weighted Indigenous number for June 2016 is 3,234, which is 105.8% of the original index.

Appendix 1: Explanatory notes

Agencies The organisations separately identified in this publication are based on the publication APS Agencies, which is available on the Commission’s website at http://www.apsc.gov.au/publications-and-media/current-publications/australian-public-service-agencies. Some agencies due to their small size are not separately identified in the tables. A list of these agencies is in Appendix 5.

Calculation of yearly APS changeFrom time to time, the number of employees covered by the PS Act is affected by changes in administrative arrangements when agencies move into or out of coverage of the PS Act. It is necessary to adjust for changes in coverage when comparing the data with previous years’ data and calculating changes for the APS. Refer to Appendix 3 for the number of employees who moved into or out of coverage of the PS Act over the past 15 years, and Appendix 4 for the number of employees affected by machinery of government changes.

ClassificationThe classifications used in this Bulletin are those classifications listed in the Public Service Classification Rules 2000 (the Classification Rules).

Data in this Bulletin generally refers to the base (substantive) classification, except those tables where temporary assignment or

paid classification is used. See Section 3: Ongoing employees for more information on temporary assignment.

133

SES includes Senior Executive Service (SES) Bands 1, 2 and 3 and SES Specialist Bands 1, 2 and 3. It also includes employees grouped with the equivalent SES Bands under the Classification Rules.

EL classifications include Executive Levels 1 and 2. It also includes employees grouped with the equivalent Executive Levels under the Classification Rules such as Medical Officers.

APS classifications include employees at the APS 1 to 6 levels. It also includes employees grouped with the equivalent APS levels under the Classification Rules.

Trainee includes cadets, trainees and apprentices (but not Graduate APS, even though this is a training classification under the Classification Rules).

Graduate refers only to those employees in a specific graduate program.

EngagementAn engagement refers to the engagement or re-engagement of employees under s. 22 of the PS Act. Employees of agencies moving into coverage of the PS Act under s. 72 are counted as engagements.

Exit rateIs calculated as the number of separations from an agency (i.e. employees leaving the APS) plus the number of transfers and promotions out of the agency during the reporting period, divided

by the average number of employees at the beginning and end of the reporting period. It refers to ongoing employees only.

134

Full-time/Part-timeThe full-time and part-time employment status categories used in this publication refer to the number of hours worked. Full-time employees are defined as those who ordinarily work 35 hours or more per week. Employees working fewer than 35 hours per week are defined as working part-time. This definition is based on that used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in their Australian Labour Market Statistics publication (catalogue no. 6105.0).

Highest educational qualification Data reported in this Bulletin is the highest qualification that the employee has reported to their agency. The full list of qualification categories is shown in the APS Employment Database Manual (Version 4.2), available on the Commission’s website at http://www.apsc.gov.au/about-the-apsc/commission-services/apsed.

Length of serviceLength of service is based on an employee’s combined periods of service. Where possible, an individual’s separate periods of services have been linked by matching date of birth, sex, first name (first four letters) and surname. The length of these periods of service is combined. For example, an individual who had five years of service, left the APS for two years and then returned for seven years would have a total length of service of 12 years. Previously, this individual would have been recorded as having seven years of service if they had changed Australian Government Staff Number (AGSN). Using this method it is possible to determine an individual’s prior service in the APS (as shown in Table 34).

Non-ongoing service is included in this calculation only where the service is on APSED; the collection of data for non-ongoing

employees on APSED commenced in July 1999. Service in an agency is only included in the period that the agency was covered under the PS Act or the Public Service Act 1922 (the PS Act 1922). When an agency moves out of coverage of either of these Acts, accumulation of service ceases until the individual re-joins the APS. See Appendix 3 for PS Act coverage changes.

Maternity-related leaveMaternity related leave should not be confused with leave under the provisions of the Maternity Leave (Commonwealth Employees) Act 1973. APSED measures the amount of time spent away from work due to having a baby. It records the date the employee commences leave and the date the employee returns to work, irrespective of the type of leave taken during this period. For further details see the APS Employment Database Manual (Version 4.2) available on the Commission’s website at http://www.apsc.gov.au/about-the-apsc/commission-services/apsed.

Mobility rateIs calculated as the number of transfers and promotions (s. 26 of the PS Act) between APS agencies over a financial year, divided by the average number of ongoing employees over that period.

NESBIn the absence of alternative measures, the concept ‘NESB’, representing people from a non-English speaking background, is used with APSED. This captures information about first language spoken, place of birth and parents’ language. NESB 1 refers to people born overseas who arrived in Australia after the age of five and whose first language was not English. NESB 2 refers to children of migrants including:

135

http://www.apsc.gov.au/about-the-apsc/commission-services/apsed


those who were born overseas and arrived in Australia when they were aged five or younger but did not speak English as a first language;

those who were Australian born but did not speak English as a first language and had at least one parent who did not speak English as a first language;

those who spoke English as a first language and had neither parent speaking English as a first language.

Number of agencies worked inNumber of agencies worked in is based on an employee’s combined periods of service. Non-ongoing experience is not included. Movements due to machinery of government changes are not counted.

Ongoing/Non-ongoing‘Ongoing’ refers to the employment of an APS employee as mentioned ins. 22(2)(a) of the PS Act. The employee is referred to as an ongoing employee. ‘Non-ongoing’ is a generic term which refers to the engagement of APS employees for either a specified term or for the duration of a specified task or for duties that are irregular or intermittent as mentioned in ss. 22(2)(b) and (c) of the PS Act. A person engaged on a non-ongoing basis is referred to as a non-ongoing employee.

Operative/Inoperative statusEmployees who are inoperative are those on mandatory or discretionary leave without pay, or compensation leave. Maternity leave is not included. For further details see the APS Employment Database Manual (Version 4.2) available on the Commission’s website at http://www.apsc.gov.au/about-the-apsc/commission-services/apsed.

PromotionsPromotions are ongoing assignments to a higher APS classification level, either within or between APS agencies. Promotions do not include advancements within a broadband to a higher classification level.

Retention rateIs calculated as the number of individual ongoing employees who are employed both at the beginning and end of the reporting period, divided by the number of employees at the start of the reporting period.

SeparationA separation occurs when an employee ceases to be employed under the PS Act. It does not refer to employees moving from one APS agency to another. The terms used in this Bulletin are:

136



Resignation Age retirement (s. 30 of the PS Act) , which includes:

- resignations at age 55 and above Retrenchment, which includes:

- employee excess to the requirements of the agency (s. 29(3)(a))

- SES incentive to retire (s. 37) Physical or mental incapacity (s. 29(3)(d)) Terminations of employment, which includes:

- inappropriately qualified (s. 29(3)(b))- underperformance (s. 29(3)(c))- non-completion of entry level training (s. 29(3)(e))- breach of engagement condition (s. 29(3)(f))- misconduct (s. 29(3)(g))

Compulsory move to non-APS agency by determination made by the Public Service Commissioner under s. 72(1)(b)

Deceased

Separation rateIs calculated as the number of ongoing separations from the APS over a reporting period, divided by the average number of ongoing employees over that period.

Symbols and other initials. zero value

(NC) Not Current—agency is no longer under coverage of the PS Act, or its functions were part of another agency, at the date of effect

Transfers For the purpose of the Bulletin reporting, transfers are ongoing movements between agencies, either at the same classification level or to a lower classification level.
