Notes and Assumptions:
Assuming Police Officers only (Police + APLO excluding Executive)
This response can only be given based on the normal annual salary rates without impacts of on-costs, as many on-costs are dependent on the duties being completed by individuals.
This calculation is based on the employee profile as at 1st June 2017 including LWOP and does not include additional FTE related to election commitments, nor increment movement.
