Characteristics of the main job
82. How long ago did you begin working for this firm or business, in a continuous way?
This desires to know the length of a person with the firm, which allows us to know the continuity of that employment.
If the person answers with the number of years, it will be noted in the boxes on top of "Years". If it is less than a year since he began working for the firm, the number of months will be noted in the boxes on top of "Months".
If the person answers with the number of months and there are more than 12 (more than one year of length) you will round, so that 6 months or more will become one year and 5 months or fewer will not be counted. For example: if the person says 15 months, you will note "1 year"; if the person says 18 to 20 months, you will note "2 years".
