Interviewer instructions
Item 224: Did the enterprise undertake any work on contract basis: In many cases, the enterprises are observed to be working as per the orders from another unit. This is also called 'job-work'. If the surveyed unit does any amount of work under contract, code against this item will be '1'. Otherwise, code will be '2'.
- A branch enterprise doing its jobs as specified by its head office will not generally be considered as working on contract. However, if the head office got some job on contract from outsiders and got it done through the branches, then the branch will be considered as working on contract.
- Jobs done for households, who are final consumers of the service, will not be considered as a work done on contract, although the households may specify the type of service they want, e.g. barber, beautician, etc.
