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><span class="em">Question 5c</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons who worked in the reference week, to find out which days and how many hours they worked on their job during this period.</p>
<p><span class="em">Hours worked. </span>Number of normal and overtime hours worked by the employed persons during the reference period.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />Note that in this question you inquire about the schedule worked during the reference week, not about the intensity or level of work. Within the hours worked, consider waiting time, work preparation, maintenance and cleaning of the economic unit's facilities.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- How to record the information. Ask day by day and enter the number of hours or minutes: "How many hours did you work on Monday, how many on Tuesday... how many on Sunday?"<br />On days not worked, enter zeros in hours and minutes. Do not leave boxes blank for any reason. In the case of complete hours (zero minutes), enter two zeros in the minutes field; in the case of fractions of hours, write the number of minutes indicated.<br />- Time used in commuting and eating food. Count the time the subordinate worker took to commute from their home to their workplace, and vice versa, as well as the time taken eating food, only if the economic unit has included this within the work schedule; otherwise no.<br />- Time spent preparing a class or course. In the case of teachers, count as part of the hours worked those dedicated to preparing classes, preparing teaching materials, preparing or reviewing exams, among other activities.<br />- Accounting for the time of independent workers. Count, as part of their work schedule, the time spent attending to their business or company: manufacturing products, direct attention to customers and suppliers, purchase of raw materials or equipment, setting out merchandise, cleaning and maintenance of their business or company facilities, paying for salaries or services.<br />- How to enter the time worked by police officers, soldiers and workers on oil platforms or the like. If they say they work 24 or more continuous hours, ask the informant to only tell you how much time they were available to their superiors to perform their work, not the time of their stay in the economic unit's facilities. Thus, the time spent on personal hygiene, rest, recreation should be discarded.</div><p>Below are examples of how to record the information in this question:</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="i1">- Daniela worked from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., from Monday to Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; that is, she worked eight hours daily from Monday to Friday, and five hours on Saturday.<br />[Omitted figure]<br />- In schedules of 24 and 48 consecutive hours, enter only those corresponding to each day.<br />[Omitted figure]</div><p>Example:</p>
<div class="i1">- Juan works 24 consecutive hours. In the reference week he started his shift on Monday at 8 a.m. and ended on Tuesday at the same time; rested on Wednesday and returned for this, same shift on Thursday and Friday; rested again on Saturday and Sunday.<br />- When a person has worked less than one hour on any day, enter zero in hours; and in minutes, the corresponding number.<br />[Omitted figure]</div><p>Example:</p>
<div class="i1">- Alberto worked three hours on Monday, five hours on Tuesday, and eight and a half hours both Friday and Saturday and 45 minutes on Sunday; he rested on Tuesday and Wednesday.<br />[Omitted figure]</div>
