The Data In This Particular Release
The estimates for July 2021 give an indication of the level of employees and the median pay in the last period. In fact, the figures available for July 2021 are based on 85% of the information available at the time of preparing this report. They are of lower quality and could be revised in the next month’s release when around 99% of the data will be available. The report was introduced in April 2020 in relation to the coronavirus pandemic and more methods will be developed in the future. A revisions triangle is also available for median pay and employees at the UK level.
The release covers employees who are paid through the PAYE or Pay As You Earn system where the pay is reported through the RTI or Real Time Information system. The employees who were laid off as part of the CJRS or Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme should have their payments reported through the system. They will be featured in this data and contribute towards the pay and employment statistics for the specific periods.
The stats in this release are based on employees who have at least one job paid via PAYE. The monthly estimates show the average of such employees for each day in the calendar month. The introduction of the new methodology in 2019 is designed to align with international guidelines for labour stats.
