Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.5 Battery III. Work context</span>
<br />Starting with this battery of questions and up to six, the information you obtain will refer exclusively to the main job of the employed population, such that it could have been performed during the reference week or they could have been absent from it, but with return assured.</p>
<p>The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify the person's position or job, their title in the occupation, the size of the economic unit and how long they have been on the job, among others. In addition, based on title in the occupation, the purpose will be, in the case of:</p>
<div class="i1">- Independent workers, identify their level of autonomy and the line of their activity.<br />- Subordinate workers, identify whether they have a written contract and access to employment benefits, as well as the form in which they accessed their job.</div><span class="em">Question 3s</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons who declare having started their current job or business before the previous year in relation to the reference period, to find out their time of service on the job.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications
<br /><span class="ital">Time of service in the main job.</span> Time the person has been working without interruption for the same economic unit in their main job, regardless of the changes of position or duties they have had within it.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- How to count the time of service. Count the time lapsed from when a person started to work for the economic unit for the first time on their main job until the week before the interview.<br />- How to record the time of service when working recurrently for an economic unit in different periods throughout the year. Consider a person to have continued working if they have worked for the economic unit, even if only for short periods throughout the year (at least one or two weeks), as long as they have not stopped doing so in each calendar year since they were first connected with the economic unit.</div><p>Examples:</p>
<div class="i1">- In the reference week, Mr. Valentín was working for the coffee farm "La Nueva Esperanza" and for the cacao farm "El Trigueño". For him, his main job is the one with "La Nueva Esperanza"; he has worked for this farm for 10 years, as he returns every year, except the year before last, because he went to try his luck in the United States of America. Consider Mr. Valentín to have broken his employment connection with "La Nueva Esperanza", so you should circle option 2.<br />[Omitted figure]<br /><br />- Eleazar works only one month each summer vacation in the same restaurant for the last six years; the rest of the years he is dedicated to school. Consider Eleazar to have worked for said restaurant without interruption.<br />[Omitted figure]<br /><br />- Sequence. If you circle option 1 or 9, go to question 4. If you circle 2, continue with question 3t.</div>
