Interviewer instructions
This section obtains information on the income of the family from salaries and wages from employment received by family members.
It includes all forms of compensation whether in cash or in kind received by family members as regular or occasional/seasonal workers in agricultural and non-agricultural industries. This additional information may provide data to explain the difference in the level of compensation received by salary and wage earners.
Before filling up any-subsection of III-A, ascertain first the number of wage and salary workers in the family to find out if the five lines provided in each subsection are enough. If the number exceeds five, divide a line into two in order to accommodate all the earning members.
Wage and salary workers in the family must be classified into any of the following categories:
regular, agricultural (A1.1)
regular, non-agricultural (A1.2)

Sugar industry workers during harvest and milling seasons only.
Drivers not working on a regular basis (i.e., “pa-extra-extra” basis)
Peak season workers in commercial establishments like during Christmas time when extra sales workers are hired

On the other hand, if a family member worked for pay in two or more jobs falling in different sectors, report this jobs separately in the corresponding sector.
Since A1.1 and A1.2 have the same headings, be guided by the following instructions in filling up the subsections.
Column 1 - Line Number
Ascertain whether there are family members who worked for private households, private establishments, government/government corporations or as employer with formal payroll system or worked with pay on own family-operated activities.

Inquire whether there are family members who are enumerated last April 2000 and were reported employed between January and March 2000 but no longer included as family members at the time of the visit. Include them and assign line numbers starting with code 51.
List down the line number of employed persons falling under each subsection sequentially. If there is no entry to be made in a particular subsection, leave it blank.
In filling up this section, maintain at all times the line number during the first visit for a member who has income to be reported during the two visits regardless of change in the member's line number in ISH Form 2. Assign Code starting with 71 to a family member who received income during the second visit only. Extra care, therefore, should be taken to gather correct data for a family member especially if there are two or more family members with the same first name.

Enter the first name of the family member who earned wage or salary during the reference period.
Column 3 - Occupation
For each member who earned wages or salary during the reference period, ask her/his occupation during the past semester. Note that the occupation reported in Column 13 of ISH Form 2 refers to the person's occupation during the past week's while this asks for the occupation during the past semester.

This includes deductions made for retirement, insurance premiums, social security, union dues, PAG-IBIG Fund, MEDICARE, salary loans, and other deductions reflected in the payroll. If the respondent cannot give the exact salary/wage of the family member, simply ask for the estimated salary and the number of months worked during the reference period, then estimate the total salary earned for the period. However, in accepting the estimates made by the respondent you should consider the job of the person; probe further, if the amount is underestimated or overestimated.
Do not include other cash allowances like cost of living allowance (COLA) and Personal Relief Allowance (PERA) in the report for basic salaries and wages. Enter these under the allowances, tips, etc. column, in the earnings in cash spanner (Col. 8). However, if the COLA has already been integrated as part of the basic salary/wage, then the amount should be included in the gross salary/wage and should be reported in Col. 7 and no longer in Col. 8.

In such a case, you will report in Col. 10 the cost of one cavan of rice at the time of receipt multiplied by the number of months employed. If an employee enjoys free meals, three times a day, ask for the estimated value of meal, multiply it by the number of days worked then by the number of months. Record the answer in Col. 11 as other fringe benefits in kind.
Inquire also on cash purchases of commodities at prices lower than that of the prevailing market prices being enjoyed by workers of certain companies. Report under other fringe benefits in kind in Col. 11 the difference between the prevailing market price and purchase price in the company's outlet.
