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 3t</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons who state they have broken their employment connection with the economic unit of their main job, to find out when they returned to it.
<br />[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Breaking the employment connection. If a worker broke their employment relationship with the economic unit of their main job on more than one occasion, ask when they last returned to the job.<br />- How to record returns to the same economic unit. If a worker responds that they returned to work at the same economic unit in the same year the interview is being conducted, or the year before, ask in exactly which month that occurred. If they say it was more time in relation to the week before the interview, do not ask for the month.<br />- Sequence. Regardless of the option you circle, continue with question 4.</div>
