As noted on page 5 of the Commissioner for Public Administration's State of the Service Report for 2001-02, this system covers (on 30 June 2002 figures) approximately 93% of the public service (ie those employed under the Public Sector Management Act 1994). The Commissioner's report provides details on separations in Chapter 8. The tables in that chapter relate only to permanent staff paid through the PESPECT system.

Updated service-wide figures will be incorporated into the 2002-03 State of the Service Report.
