There were 208 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) temporary agency workers employed on
OLCU casework at the end of Q1 2014, this was equal to 62.7% of the overall
staff at the time. FTE means that part time employees are counted by the
proportion of full time hours they work, so that staff working half the time of
an equivalent full time colleague would count as 0.5 FTE.
