Please also provide the current (the most recent data you have available) AC
headcount and number of FTEs (excluding CCOs and contractors) and the
equivalent numbers as at one year prior.
As per the Auckland council website we publish two staffing figures in our annual
report, defined as:
• Headcount — the Local Government Act requires us to report staff numbers
as ‘headcount,’ which is an employee who can work as little as a couple of
hours per day.
• Full-time equivalent — we also use FTE (Full Time Equivalent), which is an
employee who works the equivalent of 40 hours per week and consists of the
total full-time and part-time FTEs.
The most recent data on Auckland Council headcount and FTE as at 31 Jan 2024 is
set out in the below table.
