Enter “1” if the person worked more than 48 hours during the week because he or she wanted more earnings.
Enter “2” if long hours of work are the requirement of the job. This may happen during the harvest period in agricultural activities or in the case of medical doctors during hospital shifts.
Enter “3” if the reported long hours of work during the reference week were exceptional, for example, due to a deadline or the simultaneous absence of several workers, or due to an exceptionally high volume of demand.
Enter “4” if the long hours of work during the reference week were voluntary, for example, because the person is ambitious or is passionate of his or her work.
Enter “5” if other reasons, not fitting any of the above 4 categories, are reported. In such cases, it would be greatly helpful if the reason could be explained in a few words.
Write the line number of the member with code 5, the column no. and the specific reason for working more than 48 hours in the box found at the bottom of the questionnaire.
