Personnel reports - current data

Summary and purpose

This group of eight reports provides a large number of data items for current staff in post, at a given point in time, and can be run for ad-hoc data requirements. It is primarily intended for export into Excel. Read what each report contains, below, under 'Details of paginated reports within this folder'.

When should you run these reports?

As and when required.

Additional useful information

• Always set a parameter within either the Division, Management unit code, Department code or Department fields. Unless using the Department code field, always tick 'NULL' against the Department code field. When entering a selection of department codes into the Department code field, leave 'NULL' unticked. Where the above instructions aren't followed, your report will return 0 results! Read further guidance in the Available Filters table below.
• Allowance indicator: Where an employee is in receipt of an allowance, this will be indicated by a “Y” in the "Allowance indicator" column in Full Data Set. Refer to Full Data Set with allowances for details of the allowance(s).
• Explanation of service dates: 
  • Latest start date: the start of the earliest consecutive appointment with the University. This may include previous service with different departments. Care should be taken when an employee may have continuous service with the University prior to April 2001 as this may not be reflected, or where an individual has transferred between departments at any time.
  • Length of Service:  length of continuous employment from the Latest Start Date shown in the Continuous Service screen. This may include previous service with different departments. 
  • Total Length of Service: total length of employment from the Original Date Joined shown in the Continuous Service screen. This may include previous service with different departments. 
  • Continuous service duration: length of qualifying employment from the Continuous Service Start Date shown in the Continuous Service screen (Casual and Non-Employee appointments do not qualify for continuous service). This may include previous service with different departments. 
  • Please note that due to a difference in the calculation methods, there may appear to be a very minor difference between the Length of Service and Continuous Service Duration columns, normally with only a 0.1 difference. This does not impact the staff members’ length of service/continuous service dates, but for clarity, you may refer to the People Management record where service details are displayed in years, months and days.

Summary

There are three reports available under the PERDEP07 suite of reports:

1. 'Academic and senior staff aged 66 between dates selected' provides details of all employees who are in posts on grades that are subject to the EJRA, and who are at the age of 66 between the parameter dates entered. This should be run to identify the staff who should be contacted with regard to retirement planning/requesting to work beyond the EJRA date procedure. 
2. 'Academic and senior staff who are over the EJRA or have an approved extension to work beyond the EJRA' provides details of all employees who are subject to the EJRA policy and are already above the EJRA, as well as those who have an agreed extension to work beyond the EJRA, which has been recorded in the EJRA screen (UDF) within PeopleXD, see the EJRA scenario factsheet. NB If you find that a member of staff is working beyond their EJRA date without an approved extension, contact your HR Business Partner, as soon as possible.
3. 'Staff aged 55 and over' provides details of all employees who are excluded from the provisions of the EJRA policy, but who may be considering retirement options. These staff should be contacted with regard to retirement planning.

Please refer to the current EJRA policy for the latest guidance.

When to run these reports: 

Every three to six months, to ensure timely processes in respect of EJRA compliance.

Hints & tips

• Missing data: The reports include and highlight (in red) records where retirement date is unknown due to missing date of birth. To ensure data integrity such records must be corrected promptly.
• Staff with multiple appointments: If an employee holds employment contracts with more than one department, each department should send a separate retirement reminder letter for each of their respective appointments.

Summary description

This group of reports has been designed to assist you in identifying those staff within your department(s) who may be eligible for consideration under the University’s Reward and Recognition Scheme. The reports include employees with a minimum of six months service with the University as at the date the reports are run, and exclude 'workers' (ie casuals) and 'non-employees' (including agency workers – see 'Hints and Tips'). The Transfers report includes potentially eligible employees who were employed during the assessment period, but have since transferred to another department.

Why run these reports?

To assist you in identifying which employees are eligible for consideration under the Reward and Recognition Scheme.

When should you run these reports?

Prior to assessing performance under the Reward and Recognition Scheme.

Hints & tips

Length of service: this is based on 'Latest start date' in PeopleXD, which reflects the employee’s latest rejoin date if they have left and rejoined the University. This potentially includes service with a previous department.

Casual service: note that length of service includes any service obtained within a casual appointment – which does not count towards service eligibility for the scheme. You will need to ensure you are aware of employees who have casual service within the previous six months and manually exclude these from being considered under the scheme.

Eligibility – categories for further consideration: the following categories of staff will be included on the report, but their specific circumstances may affect their eligibility:

• Staff at the top of the discretionary range of the grade: In the Awards for Excellence scheme, staff at the top discretionary point of any grade are eligible to be considered for the award of a non-pensionable lump sum to the value of one increment to reward exceptional performance only. They are eligible for the Recognition Scheme. These staff are highlighted on the report.
• Apprentices: Apprentices have pre-determined grade progression and are eligible only for non-recurrent awards through the Awards for Excellence Scheme. They are eligible for Recognition Awards. It is the departments’ responsibility to identify their apprentices.
• TUPE transfers: If the job category field in PeopleXD contains the 'TUPE transfer' indicator this will be highlighted on the report. Staff who have transferred in to the University under a TUPE arrangement will be eligible for consideration unless that arrangement precludes inclusion or imposes alternative ‘merit’ arrangements. If you are unsure about whether an individual should be included, please check their contractual arrangements and seek further advice from your HR Business Partner if clarity is required.
• Staff paid on grades ending with 90: These are likely to be staff transferred under TUPE arrangements (see above) but you should check their contractual arrangements and seek further advice from your HR Business Partner, if required.  
• Absent staff: Staff who have been absent for part of the assessment period due to sickness or for family-related reasons should also be reviewed, with due allowance made for the period of absence. Departments are responsible for identifying staff who have had a period of absence.
• Agency workers: Agency workers with more than six months service and paid at equivalent rates to staff on grade 1-10 are eligible for consideration under the scheme. We are currently exploring ways of incorporating these workers into the report. In the meantime departments are asked to determine the eligibility of their agency staff via separate means.

Summary description

This group of six reports let you analyse the distribution of Reward and Recognition Scheme nominations and awards in your department/division by grade/staff group and sex. Report descriptions are provided below.

The data is sourced from the following two UDFs in PeopleXD: Appt: R&R Recognition Scheme and Appt: R&R Awards for Excellence. Accurate and complete data entry is crucial as per the guidance. Incomplete entries will result in missing data (even if the individual has received payment). Refer to 'Hints and Tips' for further clarification of the data.

The report can be exported into Excel for further analysis.

Why run these reports?

To verify the nomination data input and to analyse the distribution of the nominations and awards in your department or division by grade/staff group and sex.

Note: If using this report for displaying an overview of the award data on your staff noticeboard (as policy requires), ensure that the numbers are sufficiently high to prevent individual identification.

When should you run these reports?

As required, but specifically following each annual Reward and Recognition Scheme exercise, once all the data for your department/division has been entered into PeopleXD. Any specific deadlines will be communicated each year via the HR Systems Bulletin.

Hints & tips

• Cohort: the data is based on individuals on eligible grades with six months service at the end of the assessment period. Awards for Excellence - Nomination and Award Details and Recognition Scheme - Nomination and Award Details reports include details of eligible appointments held within the assessment period which have a nomination recorded, but will exclude any ineligible appointments even if the ineligible appointment has a nomination recorded. Percentage figures quoted in reports Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Grade and Sex, Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Staff Group and Sex, Recognition Scheme - Nominations and Awards by Grade and Sex and Recognition Scheme - Nominations and Awards by Staff Group and Sex will be based on the total number of eligible appointments in post at the assessment period end date.
• Length of service: The service length calculation used to determine whether an individual is eligible is based on whether they had six months or more of eligible service at the assessment period end date. As the report calculates the service retrospectively (rather than at run date), breaks in service during the assessment period might occasionally not factor into the calculation.
• Total appointments: Reports Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Grade and Sex, Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Staff Group and Sex, Recognition Scheme - Nominations and Awards by Grade and Sex and Recognition Scheme - Nominations and Awards by Staff Group and Sex (summary data) contain figures for “total appointments”. These figures represent the total number of appointments in that category (ie appointments held by individuals of that legal sex/grade/staff group) at the assessment period end date to enable the calculations of percentage nominations and awards.
• Total nominations: Reports Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Grade and Sex, Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Staff Group and Sex, Recognition Scheme - Nominations and Awards by Grade and Sex and Recognition Scheme - Nominations and Awards by Staff Group and Sex (summary data) contain figures for “total nominations”. These figures represent the number of appointments against which there is at least one nomination, by category (ie the number of nominated appointments per sex/grade/staff group). This may result in a discrepancy between the number of rows in the “details” report compared with the "total nominations" figure in the "summary" report (ie where there have been multiple nominations against the same appointment). Additionally, if there are no eligible appointments at the assessment period end date which match the category for a nominated appointment, the “total nominations” column will have a value, but the “total appointments” column won't. Consequently, the percentage columns will not be calculated.
• Percent awards granted: These figures are based on the total number of eligible appointments in the department/division, not on the number of nominations. If all nominations are granted, the figures in the “percent (nominations)” and “percent (awards granted)” columns will be the same.
• Percent successful appeals: Reports Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Grade and Sex and Awards for Excellence - Nominations and Awards by Staff Group and Sex include data to show the percentage of appeals that were successful. These figures are based on the total number of eligible appointments in the department/division at the assessment period end date, not on the number of appeals submitted. If all appeals are successful, the figures in the “percent (appeals submitted)” and “percent (successful appeals)” columns will be the same.
• Staff Group definitions:
  • Support staff: staff on grades 1-5 and apprentice grades
  • Academic-related: staff on grades 6-10, and grades E64, E65, E66, and E71
  • Other: grades E90, B90, D90, K90, M90 (staff on these grades, many of whom were transferred in under TUPE, may or may not be eligible for an award, depending on their contractual terms and conditions)

Summary description

This report validates person and appointment data and uses colour highlighting and guidance messages to flag anomalous data that requires updating in PeopleXD. There is also a companion website to guide you through making updates

This report validates many items returned to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) as well as staff classifications, right to work, FTE and target end dates. It is restricted to return only a sub-set of the appointments in your area that are needed for internal and external reporting (see Hints and Tips below). The HR Analytics Team may vary the subset of appointments validated periodically.

Why run this report?

• To ensure data are complete, accurate and valid.
• To reduce the number of queries you receive from the HR Analytics Team towards the end of the academic year.
• To ensure that departmental data submitted to external organisations (eg HESA, Medical Schools Council, Athena SWAN) and for internal reports (eg staffing figures) are correct.
• To ensure that departmental data complies with the GDPR and related UK data protection legislation and the HR Data Quality Policy

When should you run this report?

This report should be run regularly throughout the year, ideally monthly. This report should be run in early July before the HESA staff return and University staffing figures are collated, to ensure that there are no anomalies in the data. It may also be beneficial to run this report more regularly when your department(s) experience high numbers of new appointments (eg in September – October).

Hints and tips

• The filters in this report are set by the HR Analytics Team and are designed to validate a particular portion of your dataset that is to be used for reporting.
• The report returns new appointments in the current academic year.
• Workers (casual workers and casual teaching) and non-employees are excluded from this report, as they are not required for the HESA return.
• Detailed guidance on entering the HESA data items covered in the report are available on the HR Analytics Team webpages.
• Many of the guidance messages in the report are dependent on the staff classification of the appointment (category and sub-category). Work through any staff classification anomalies first using the Staff Classification Guide and then re-run the report, as this may reduce the overall number of anomalies flagged.
• For guidance on correcting data errors in PeopleXD, highlighted on the report, refer to the Data Quality Clearing Errors webpage.
• Please direct any questions or feedback on this report to the HR Analytics Team at hris.dataquality@admin.ox.ac.uk
