Appendix 2 – Effects on data of broadbanding classifications

Of those agencies that have broadbanded classification levels, some provide data to APSED which is broadbanded while others provide data at specific levels. Elsewhere in this publication where classification level is given, the maximum level is used where only broadbanded data is available.

The following table provides an indication of the range of minimum classifications for each maximum. It shows the number of ongoing APS employees reported by agencies to have particular minimum and maximum levels as at June 2003. For example, there were 16,567 ongoing employees at a classification at which the minimum was APS 3 and the maximum APS 4 (i.e. the APS 3–4 band). Similarly there were 1,547 ongoing employees in the APS 1–4 band. Both of these would be reported elsewhere in the Bulletin as APS 4.

As mentioned in Appendix 1, classification data in this publication includes employees grouped with the equivalent SES bands under the Classification Rules. Although broadbanding does not apply to the SES proper, these other classifications can be broadbanded.

Note – SES data includes employees grouped with the equivalent SES bands under the Public Service Classification Rules.

Note – Graduate trainees have been included with trainees. No trainees or graduates are broadbanded.
