Supplementary notes

* Average = median
With the exception of the senior civil service, government departments have delegated pay and grading. For statistical purposes departments are asked to map their grades to a common framework by responsibility level.
This statistic shows staff in their substantive responsibility level unless on temporary promotion in which case staff are recorded at the higher responsibility level.
Salaries represent actual annual gross salaries rounded to the nearest ten. For part-time employees, the full-time equivalent earnings are used.
