* Employee statistics will be imprecise due to the implementation of the 2017 structure, the TASK gradings of 2015 and the revised TASK gradings currently used by the Human Resources Department which are based on actual evaluations or benchmarking against industry norms. The difference between gradings implemented up to 2015 and the new gradings on
the Municipality’s payroll system creates some anomalies i.t.o. accurate figures on job and occupation levels. The Municipality is busy rectifying these anomalies through the implementation of the new structure and with the implementation
of standard industry norms and TASK gradings.
