C
How many of these staff are employed as bank staff?
D
How many of these staff work part time hours?
E

Response
E
The Government of Jersey commenced an organisation restructure in 2018. In addition, HCS have been developing and implementing the departments target operating model, therefore, system data will not provide a true reflection of the vacancies for the department for this period. To provide a response to this question would therefore require a manual check of the information held. The Government of Jersey would not be able to provide the requested data within the time allocated to Freedom of Information responses pursuant to the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014.
Article applied
Article 16 A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive
(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations.
Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014 allows an authority to refuse a request for information where the estimated cost of dealing with the request would exceed the specified amount of the cost limit of £500. This is the estimated cost of one person spending 12.5 working hours in determining whether the department holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.
