The attached data reflects those positions requested within HCPSS. Please note, the counts here are for current total FTE, as there may be staff serving less than 1.0. Human Resources has also pulled the average salary by position type as the base pay is prorated by the FTE (and thus the median would be impacted by any FTE less than 1.0). The salary information has also been provided by 10 vs. 11 month positions to accurately reflect average salary based on the difference in the duty year among the positions. HCPSS has made substantial efforts to ensure the accuracy of this information; however, data collection and reporting is consistently subject to change. Please be mindful when comparing data as many variances can occur between reports based on date pulled, parameters used, categories included, etc.
