Interviewer instructions
Section G. Personal income
The current income that the household interviewed receives through each one of its members is of principal importance in this investigation.
Given that a same person can receive income coming from more than one source, all the interviewees should be consulted for all the items that appear on the questionnaire.
The investigation of the personal income has been organized in groups of questions attending to the different origins of them, and will be asked to all the members of the household age 14 or older, independently of whether or not they are working. If income obtained by those [persons] younger than this age it will be added to those of the head of the household and noted in the observations.
[p. 61]
The chapter on personal income consists of three groups of questions that investigate about the personal income of each member of the household.
The first block investigates the income derived from the dependent work, that is, from the labor activities that are performed under the direction of an employer.
The second block investigates the income derived from independent work, that is, from work that is performed when the worker is the boss of his own company, works on his own account and/or has personnel under his charge.
In each block, there first appears a collection of questions that reveal the information for the main occupation. Afterwards, the same questions are repeated to investigate about the other occupations.
The third block of questions (income from transfers) captures personal income that doesn't come from work.
It doesn't consist of only obtaining income from work if the person indicates being occupied, or by retirement if the person informs you that he is retired, since he can receive other income that only will be captured if you complete this section of the questionnaire.
Once these three blocks have been revealed to the member of the household, perform the sequence of questions in reference to the other member. Upon finishing the block of questions of "Personal income" for all the members of the household, you will go on to chapter H.
Before establishing some guidelines to carry out the interview of this section, it's pertinent to define some concepts of interest.
What is a recipient of income?
This is all members of the household age 14 or older that in some moment of the reference period of this chapter of the survey (the last 12 months) received some current income.
What is a current income?
This is the collection of all monetary and non-monetary income (in-kind) that the members of the household receive for the performance of a job; the property of real assets; the property of financial assets; current transfers; including the value of one's own production (non-industrialized products) that the households perform for their own consumption
What is a monetary income?
It is the income that is received under the form of money.
What is a non-monetary income?
It can happen that in addition to the remuneration of money a worker receives a payment in-kind. This forms part of the labor income of the worker.
Nonmonetary income is denominated the income that is received in some form different from money.
In the case of the workers that receive alimentation or clothing in his place of work, or that receives products from the firm to bring household, as well as the reimbursement that the firm gives out because of expenses paid by the receiver in goods or services for personal consumption or that of the household (ex: fuel, car insurance, food, transportation, etc.).
[p. 62]
In these cases the goods or services that correspond should be estimated according to their market value.
Income from dependent employees (salaried workers)
This group of questions is aimed at collecting the amount of all the income perceived to be the completion of a job under a dependent relationship (workers or employees from the public and private sector), including the remunerations that business partners could receive for carrying out specific jobs in the company, in a relationship of dependency.
Example: The business partner that effectively performs functions in commercial management, for which he receives a monthly remuneration. This person in his status as partner or investor receives profits in addition. This block corresponds with the registration for the remuneration of managerial work, so that the income in terms of profit will be collected in the following blocks.
Income from the main occupation:
Monetary wages or salaries that the people who work in the dependency relationship, whether daily or monthly workers, received in the reference period.
Even though it corresponds to record in this question the net monthly income, sometimes the people identify the income amounts with reference to a shorter period.
It's common to have daily payments or biweekly payments, like for example in the case of the people who work in domestic service. In these cases, you can help make the calculations to arrive at the monthly amount or the interviewee can make them, but you must always make sure that what is registered corresponds to the period of time solicited (one month).
It can occur that a person declares a permanent job and doesn't have income from the month before because the job was just started in the month in which he is being interviewed. In these cases, the income is not revealed but you much keep a record of this situation by registering in the observations that the income of that job wasn't revealed because the person started to week recently the week before the interview.
In the case in which the person presents two or more employments, and these are as salaried workers, you should incorporate them in the highest paying job as well as in other occupations.
121. How much did you receive at work last month from your highest paying job?
Net wage or salary: You should consult about the net income, that's to say the quantity of money that is received in CASH regularly and already has the tributes and obligations linked to social security (pension, contribution for Sick Insurance, quota for the Accident and Professional Sickness Insurance, contribution to the National Funds of Reconversion, Taxes of Personal Retributions) deducted.
You must include, in the amount that is noted, the deductions due to loans, advances, consumption that the worker has solicited. Common examples of these situations are the values of advances solicited by the workers to the employers, which are deducted at the moment of the salary payment.
[p. 63]
Commissions, incentives, extra hours: The total amount that was received in this category the last month will be noted, making sure that they haven't been included in that declared by the wages and salaries.
Per diem expenditures not needing a report: Just as in the previous cases, you must note the amount received in the corresponding boxes, understanding as per diem expenditures not needing a report as those quantities that are received to cover the expenses of: food when traveling, the same with the lodging, etc. and when it is not necessary to present receipts of the expenses.
Tips: Just in the previous case, the total amount received the last month under this category will be noted, making sure that is hasn't been included in that declared as wages and salary.
Example: taxi workers, waiters in bars and restaurants, people who watch cars, etc.
Christmas wage/salary bonus: Keep present that it is obligatorily received at least twice per year, the first part being received at the middle of the year and the second at the end of the year (whenever the amount receives corresponds to this it will be noted).
Vacations wage/salary bonus: Amount of money that is received in some firms and can reach 100% of the salary. It is received together with the leave that the worker begins to enjoy.
Back wages: Register here the amount received the month earlier that corresponds to the payments due to the worker.
Transportation: This item is included separate in order to facilitate the input of this income in specific, which is very common in the case of domestic service. Record the estimated amount that the worker receives by determining the price of transportation tickets.
Attention: You must always consult the interviewee if it was received in the period for which the survey was administered, since the periods of leave vary between one firm and another.
