An Annual Report on Classified Employee Turnover for Fiscal Year 2005
December 2005
Report Number 06-706
Overall Conclusion
The statewide turnover rate for full-time, classified employees in fiscal year 2005 was 16.6 percent, based on a total of 23,631 voluntary and involuntary separations. This is a 1.8 percentage point increase from fiscal year 2004. However, excluding involuntary terminations and retirements decreases the state turnover rate to 10.4 percent. This calculation is often considered to be more of a "true" turnover rate because it reflects "preventable" turnover.
