Director-general of the Office of Utility Regulation John Curran (pictured) warned that their £37,000 average was simply not sustainable.

Cost-cutting had to be the number one priority for the utility – but he added that it was a challenge that the company was prepared to tackle.

He was responding to Guernsey Press questions on average costs per employee at the utility, which the annual report indicates are just under £47,000.

Can I get a transfer

And now to read the story to see exactly what the £37,000 figure is.

By the looks of things, it's a figure that includes OT payments (and i assume what they have done is take the total wage bill and devided it by the number of staff employed) the normal wage seems to be £25-£30k per year.
