SELECT MONTH(ARR_DATE) MONTH, COUNT(*) COUNT
FROM table_emp
WHERE YEAR(arr_date)=2012
GROUP BY MONTH(ARR_DATE);

  SUM(CASE datepart(month,ARR_DATE) WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'January',
  SUM(CASE datepart(month,ARR_DATE) WHEN 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'February',
  SUM(CASE datepart(month,ARR_DATE) WHEN 3 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'March',
  SUM(CASE datepart(month,ARR_DATE) WHEN 4 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'April',
  SUM(CASE datepart(month,ARR_DATE) WHEN 5 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'May',
  SUM(CASE datepart(month,ARR_DATE) WHEN 6 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'June',

  SUM(CASE datepart(month,ARR_DATE) WHEN 8 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'August',
