<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 5g</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons to learn the regularity with which they worked throughout the year in their main job.</p>
<p><span class="em">Work regularity. </span>Regularity with which the employed persons worked at their main job during the course of the year.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />Working the whole year at their main job means that a person maintains their employment connection with a specific economic unit throughout this period, although they stopped working on more than one occasion for vacations, leave, health problems.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Works every month of the year. If a worker spontaneously responds that they work the whole year, circle option 14. Also circle this option in the following cases:<br />- If an interviewee has just started work, but has a certainty that they will remain in this job, at least, throughout one year.<br />- If a subordinate worker states that they work the whole year with the exception of two or three months, with or without pay, but they maintained their employment connection.<br />- In the case of independent workers who state they have worked in the same occupation throughout the year. For example, the self-employed worker who sells different types of products throughout the year, based on the season.<br />- Only works some months of the year. Ask in which months they usually work. Circle the options the informant indicates.</div><p>In the case of independent workers, as they are the economic unit, they can be considered to have worked the whole year if they performed the same occupation throughout that period; if they performed more than one occupation or trade throughout the year, consider them to have only had one job (the one performed during the reference week).</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Suppose that in the preceding example, the interviewee spent time working in masonry (main job), so in this case you would have to circle the respective options: December, February and July.</p>
<div class="i1">- The months in which they work vary. In this case, circle option 13.<br />- Has been working at this job for less than a year. Circle option 15 if the person does not know how much time they will remain in that job, or if they know it will last less than one year.<br />- Sequence to follow. If you only circle some of the options of the months of the year, or 13, continue with question 5h; if you circle option 14, 15 or 99, go to question 6.</div>
