Staff Turnover

Dear Bassetlaw District Council,

Please supply the numbers of people who have joined the council
workforce from 2006 (inclusive) to the present day, and the numbers
who have left the workforce for the same time period.

Please break these figures down by year. Please indicate whether
you are using calendar or financial years. For each year, please
supply a running total of the number of people employed by the
council.

Additionally, I would like to see the numbers of people leaving the
authority broken down into the different methods of leaving, i.e.
the number of people who resigned; who were made redundant; who
retired; who were dismissed; and any other categories that seem
reasonable to include.

For the categories of those made redundant or retired, please
include a total cost to the authority for these retirements and
redundancies, i.e. monies paid to these workers in redundancy
payments, or any lump sum monies paid to retiring workers.

Please also subdivide the numbers joining/leaving on the basis of
their contract: i.e. please list those on temporary contracts
separately to those on permanent contracts.

The figures should ideally include any temporary workers used by
the authority but employed via a third-party temp agency, but need
not include higher-paid consultants.

Please supply the data in Excel 97 format.

Yours faithfully,

Steve Dudley
