Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. O'Reilly on February 14, 2017, regarding position vacancy and overtime statistics.
The Department of Finance has gathered the requested information and later today at the appropriate time I will table the spreadsheets that detail the information that the Member requested.
The spreadsheets that I will be tabling in the House identify:
The number of vacant, full-time indeterminate positions in the public service by department and agency, except for those positions in the Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission and the Northwest Territories Power Corporation on June 30, 2016; September 30, 2016; November 30, 2016; and January 31, 2017. These are the months where the data is available within the requested time period, as this information was previously collected quarterly and is now collected bi-monthly.
The number of job openings that were active within the Human Resource Information System, commonly known as PeopleSoft, to fill vacant positions for each month from April 1, 2016, to February 14, 2017.
The total number of hours entered into PeopleSoft as overtime and the related costs, by month from April 1, 2016, to February 14, 2017.
The total number of overtime hours entered into PeopleSoft, and the related costs in each month from April 1, 2016, to February 14, 2017, to employees whose positions are designated as continuous. Continuous positions are defined as those that must remain operational/open during the shut-down period. Examples of common continuous positions include, but are not limited to, corrections officers, highway maintenance officers, home support workers, social workers, resident care aides, and wildland fire crew members.
The total number of work hours entered as sick leave in PeopleSoft from April 2016 until February 14, 2017 by employees whose positions are designated as continuous. Providing work hours rather than workdays provides more accurate information as not all employees work standard workdays.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Masi. Returns to written questions. Minister of Justice.
