Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.7 Battery V. Work schedule and work regularity</span>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to characterize the employed population, based on their work schedule, their perception of the time worked and the regularity with which they work in their main job.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 5</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons to learn the work schedule they have at their main job.</p>

<p>[Omitted figure]</p>

<p><span class="em">Work schedule. </span>The time during which the subordinate worker is available to their employer to perform the work for which their services were hired or the time the independent worker decides to dedicate to their business or company.</p>

<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- In the case of people who began to work for the first time for the economic unit during the reference week, ask for the shift and schedule they will have.<br />- When people cover the shift of a colleague who is on vacation or is disabled, on leave or absent, circle the option corresponding to the schedule they are covering.<br /><br />1. At daytime</div><div class="i2">- People whose shift or work schedule is between 6 in the morning and 8 at night.</div><div class="i1">2. At night</div><div class="i2">- Those who work a schedule that includes three and a half hours or more between 8 at night and 6 in the morning.</div><div class="i1">3. Mixed</div><div class="i2">- Those who work in periods that cover the day and night shift, as long as the time worked in during the</div><div class="i2">night is less than or equal to three and a half hours; if the time is longer than that, it is considered a night shift.<br />Examples:</div><div class="i3">- Lucy enters work at 3 p.m. and leaves at 11 p.m. She works a total of 8 hours. Consider Lucy to work a mixed schedule because she works less than 3 and a half hours during the night shift. Remember that the night schedule begins at eight at night.<br />- Roberto enters to work at 8 p.m. and leaves at 8 a.m. in the morning. His work schedule is classified as a night schedule because the number of hours worked during the night exceeds three and a half hours.<br />- Cesar works from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. He has a mixed schedule, as he works less than three and a half hours during the night schedule: two hours, in this case, within this schedule.</div><div class="i2">Note that to define the mixed schedule you only have to take the night shift as a reference point, and exclude the day shift. The adoption of this criteria adheres to the guidelines established by the Federal Labor Law.</div><div class="i1">4. Rotating shifts</div><div class="i2">- People who do not have a fixed shift to perform their activity, because of the needs of the economic unit.</div><p>- Sequence to follow. Regardless of the option you circle, continue with question 5a.
