Casual Staff Expenditure
The Casual Staff Expenditure dashboard shows data on total expenditure on casual staff at Faculty and department level. All data is sourced from the University’s financial records contained in the General Ledger Salary Analysis Module.
Expenditure figures given are total expenditure, including all superannuation and applicable other costs. All zero payments (i.e. where a casual payment of zero exists within the General Ledger) have been excluded from the analysis, to reduce the likelihood of counting honorary staff as casual employees. The dashboard presents expenditure from 2005 to 2007 by:
Faculty;
Department;
Operating, Project or Trust;
Broad Activity Code – Teaching, Research, Research Training and Other.
Also included: Total unique casuals (headcount), average payment per casual and minimum / maximum payments for 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The Salary Analysis module includes only Payroll data. Payments (e.g. journals or contractors) processed directly against the General Ledger are not included in this data, and therefore totals may be lower than actual year-end results.
As data is sourced from financial records, the dashboard does not contain information on hours worked or rates of pay. Expenditure is allocated to departments as it was expensed at the end of the relevant year - this is particularly relevant in cases where Faculty restructures have increased or decreased the size of a department from one year to the next (e.g. Faculty of Arts moving to Schools in 2006 / 07).
There are negative payments recorded in the General Ledger. In some cases, these are internal transfers (for example, between project and operating accounts) and do not affect overall totals. Deductions are also made against budget unit / department 000 for annual and long service leave provisions. Some negative payments do not fall into either category and may appear as anomalous values in the data. If there are particular concerns, please contact Guy Edwards.
Detailed financial and payroll data is available for internal business planning purposes, and will be made available on request. This includes the financial data presented in the dashboard for 2005 to 2007, at individual unit-record level, and Themis HR payroll data giving hours and notional rates for 2006 and 2007. The HR Casual report includes meal allowances and kilometre reimbursements, as well as salary payments to casual staff.
