<span class="h2">7.8 Battery VI. Income and medical care</span>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify the payment modalities, as well as the frequency and amount of the income employed persons obtain from their main job. It also allows you to confirm the condition of unpaid employed persons (family members or other persons). And, additionally, it distinguishes employed persons who have medical care services as a benefit of their main job, from those who do not have it.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 6c</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons, for whom the amount of income is unknown, and those who refused to answer in question 6b, to determine the approximate amount they receive with respect to the monthly minimum wage at the local level.</p>
<p><span class="em">Minimum wage.</span> Amount in cash a person must receive for their services in a work day, which is determined by the National Commission on Minimum Wage for each economic zone into which the country is divided.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Current minimum wage. Enter on the line the general minimum wage in force in the locale where you are conducting the survey; if you do not know this information, ask your supervisor.<br />- Approximate amount. If necessary, explain to the informant that as you do not have the exact information, you must have, at least, an approximation of the income the interviewee receives at their job.<br />- How to ask the question. If when reading the response options, the informant does not identify the range of income in which their response would fall, mention specific amounts that equate to each one, based on the minimum wage limits in effect in the place where the interview is taking place. For example, if the minimum wage is $1,250.00 monthly, replace option 3 with: "more than $1,250.00 up to $2,500.00?". to make this easier for you, prepare a table of ranges for each minimum wage zone you manage and use it when the interview requires.<br />- Refusal. If, despite your efforts to obtain this information, an interviewee refuses to provide this information, circle option 8.<br />- Information unknown. When an interviewee says they do not know how to estimate the amount of the income, circle option 9.<br />- Sequence to follow. Regardless of the option you circle, continue with question 6d.</div>
