Workforce InformationTotal employees (GB only)Record the total number of employees. This is the number of individuals employed at a given time, irrespective of the hours they work. Count each person as one regardless of whether they work full time or part time.
An employee is anyone that your organisation directly pays from its payroll(s), in return for carrying out a full time or part time job or being on a training scheme. This includes workers who are employed in relation to the licensed activity who are:
  • paid directly from this business’s payroll
  • temporarily absent but still being paid, for example on maternity leave
  • furloughed on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
Do not include:
  • employees not employed in relation to the licensed activity
  • former employees only receiving a pension
  • self-employed workers
  • working owners who are not paid via PAYE
  • staff who are not directly employed (for example, agency staff)
  • volunteers.
If employees work across a group, you should record them on the regulatory return for the licensed activity that uses most of their time.
