Compensation of employees

National estimates of sectoral COE are apportioned across states and territories using relevant output indicators:

\(\large{ \text {state sectoral COE} = \text{national sectoral COE} \times \left(\frac{\text{state employee expenses indicator}}{\text{national employee expenses indicator}}\right)}\)

For the current year, wages and salaries data from the Quarterly Business Indicators Survey (QBIS) is used to extrapolate forward wages and salaries data from EAS. Those extrapolated values are used to apportion national private non-farm wages and salaries across states and territories.

From 2006-07 to the reference year, wages and salaries data from the Economic Activity Survey (excluding the Agriculture subdivision) is used to apportion national private non-farm wages and salaries across states and territories.

For values prior to 2006-07, output indicators were estimated consistent with the source data and methods outlined in the sixth edition of this manual (2015). Those output indicators are used to backcast EAS data from 2006-07. The backcasted values are used to apportion national private non-farm wages and salaries across states and territories.

For the current year, total hours worked estimates from the Labour Force Survey are used to extrapolate EAS wages and salaries data forward. Those extrapolated values are used to apportion national private farm wages and salaries across states and territories.

From 2006-07 to the reference year, Agriculture subdivision wages and salaries data from the Economic Activity Survey is used to apportion national private farm wages and salaries across states and territories.

For values prior to 2006-07, output indicators were estimated consistent with the source data and methods outlined in the sixth edition of this manual (2015). Those output indicators are used to backcast EAS data from 2006-07. Those backcasted values are used to apportion national private farm wages and salaries across states and territories.

Wages and salaries for non-defence public sector (across all jurisdictions) employees are collected in GFS.

Payments to staff of Australian embassies and consulates overseas, are allocated to the Australian Capital Territory.

Data for state and territory estimates of the value of fringe benefits payable to public sector employees are collected in the Survey of Major Labour Costs (MLC). This survey is run intermittently.

Estimates for the latest years, and for years between surveys, are interpolated in line with underlying wage growth for each jurisdiction by sector.

Data for state and territory estimates of employer social contributions are sourced from the intermittent MLC survey.

Estimates for the latest years, and for years between surveys, are interpolated in line with underlying wage growth for each jurisdiction by sector.

Estimates for the latest years, and for years between surveys, are interpolated in line with underlying wage growth for each jurisdiction by sector.

For the ANZSIC divisions above, estimates of state industry COE are allocated using relevant wages and salaries indicators:

\(\large{ \text {state COE} = \text{national COE} \times \left(\frac{\text{state wages and salaries indicator}}{\text{national wages and and salaries indicator}}\right)} \)

Estimates of state industry COE are apportioned across states and territories using relevant output indicators:

\(\large{ \text {state COE} = \text{national COE} \times \left(\frac{\text{state wages and salaries indicator}}{\text{national wages and and salaries indicator}}\right)} \)

Estimates of state industry COE are apportioned across states and territories using relevant output indicators:

\(\large{ \text {state COE} = \text{national COE} \times \left(\frac{\text{state wages and salaries indicator}}{\text{national wages and and salaries indicator}}\right)} \)

Estimates of state industry COE for are apportioned across states and territories using relevant output indicators:
