Notes:
Data was extracted 10 December 2008 from the HR Data Warehouse and represents the latest complete data available to provide the response to this Parliamentary Question.
The term "public servant" has been interpreted as referring to all employees of the Drug and Alcohol Office across the range of health service and public sector awards.
Head Count and full time equivalent (FTE) are based on employees paid in the last pay fortnight in October 2008. This includes employees who received back pay.
Employees 'actively engaged' are defined as those who have recorded hours worked, or who are recorded with leave that contributes to an FTE value during the last pay fortnight of October 2008.
Data includes casuals who have been paid.
Data excludes agency staff.
