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 3l</span>
<br />This question is asked to paid subordinate workers to find out whether they have basic employment benefits.</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br /><span class="ital">Employment benefits. </span>Goods and services in money or in kind which workers receive from the economic unit for which they work, as a supplement to their employment income.</p>
<p>Employment benefits are granted in accordance with the Federal Labor Law or as agreed in agreements, collective bargaining agreements and other institutionally recognized forms.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Disposition of benefits. Consider a worker to have the legal benefits if the response is yes. Regardless of whether or not they are used, you are only interested in knowing if the employment contract specifies the worker has them.<br />- Consistency of the information. Verify the consistency of the responses, for example, if a worker says they are a government employee, it is not possible for them to have profit sharing. In situations like this, corroborate the information with the interviewee and correct where necessary.</div><p>1. Annual bonus</p>
<div class="i1">- Workers who, generally, receive an amount of money or in-kind benefit at the end of the year from the economic unit for which they work.</div><p>2. Paid vacation</p>
<div class="i1">- Workers who, with the consent of the economic unit for which they work, suspend their work activities for a time to rest, during which time they continue to receive their income.<br />- Those who despite not having taken vacation, still enjoy this employment benefit.</div><p>3. Profit sharing</p>
<div class="i1">- People who receive an amount in cash corresponding to a percentage of the earnings obtained by the economic unit for which they work during a specific period.</div><p>4. None of the above</p>
<div class="i1">- People who receive some employment benefits, but different from those mentioned in the preceding options, such as: home loans, day care, retirement fund, life insurance, private insurance for medical expenses, personal loans, savings account, vacation bonus, annual grocery vouchers, parental care leave, transportation assistance, residential rent, total or partial payment of utilities (electricity, water, telephone).</div><p>5. Don't receive anything</p>
<div class="i1">- Workers who do not receive any employment benefits.<br />- Sequence to follow. If you circle option 1, 2, 3 or 4, continue with question 3m; if you circle 5 or 9, go to question 3n.</div><span class="em">Question 3m</span>
<br />This question is asked to paid subordinate workers to find out what other types of employment benefits they receive from the economic unit for which they work.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Consider all the benefits granted by the worker's economic unit, even when they are not used.</div><p>1. Home loans (Infonavit, Fosvissste)?</p>
<div class="i1">- Those who have access through their jobs to loans to purchase, build, repair or expand their home.</div><p>2. Day care?</p>
<div class="i1">- Those to whom the economic unit grants day care service, which consists of caring for and attending to their children in early childhood in institutions with appropriate facilities for that purpose, known as wellness and child development stays (EBDI) or child development centers (Cendi).</div><p>3.
