Definition
The actual number of hours worked by a person in his primary job that he held during the past week or in his other job(s)/business if there are or if there is any.
It includes the duration or the period the person was occupied in his work, including overtime, but excluding hours paid but not worked. For wage and salary earners, it includes time worked without compensation in connection with their occupations; such as the time a teacher spends at home preparing for the forthcoming lectures. For own account workers, it includes the time spent in the shop, business or office, even if no sale or transaction has taken place.
