<p><svar a="all" v="ID05A443">Question 629: Status of employment of main job<br />Status of employment is the position of a person in a particular job consisting of:<br /><div class="i1">a. "Own account worker" is work or business in which the person is responsible for the economic risk, that is, there is a possibility that the production costs will not be returned in this endeavor, and the person has no paid or unpaid worker. This includes endeavors that require special technology or expertise.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 116]</span><br /><br />Example:<br />A casual driver (no wages) who drives a vehicle owned by someone else and pays a flat rate to the owner per period of time; pedicab driver; carpenter; stone mason; electrician; masseuse, well digger; newspaper agent; ojek driver; merchant; doctor/midwife/shaman; ticket scalper; real estate broker, and others.<br /><br />b. "Self-employed assisted by temporary/unpaid employee" is work or business in which the person is responsible for the risk and is assisted by an unpaid or temporary worker/staff/worker.<br />"Temporary worker/staff/worker" is one who is employed by another person or an institution/office/company and only receives wages based on time worked or volume produced.<br /><br />Example:<br />1. Stall/shop owner assisted by family member/unpaid employee or assisted by others who are paid based on number of days worked.<br />2. Travelling salesman assisted by an unpaid employee or assisted by others who are paid whenever they work.<br />3. Farmer who works on farm land assisted by an unpaid worker. However, during the harvest the worker receives some of the harvest; this worker is not a permanent employee.<br /><br />c. "Employer" is work or business in which the person is responsible for the risk and is assisted by at least one paid, permanent worker/staff/worker.<br /><br />"A paid, permanent employee/worker/staff" is a person who is employed by another person or an institution/office/company and receives wages on a regular basis whether or not the employer has any work for him/her.<br /><br />Example:<br />1.

"Regular employee/worker/staff" is someone employed by others or an institution/office/company and regularly receives wages/salary in cash or in kind. An employee who has no regular employer is considered a casual worker. Someone is considered to have a regular employer if he had the same employer (person/household) for the last month, except for the construction sector where the duration is the last three months. If the employer is an institution, there may be more than one employer.<br /><br />Example:<br />Hendri works in the mornings as an employee of BPS and in the evenings as a permanent teacher at a school. Hendri is categorized as a regular employee/worker/staff.<br /><br />e. "Casual worker in agriculture" is someone employed in agriculture by different people/employers/institutions (more than one employer during the last month) either at a household or non-household enterprise who receives payment either in cash or kind based on a daily wage or contract. Agriculture enterprises include food crops farms, plantations, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, hunting, and agricultural services.<br /><br />Employer is the person or the party who assigns the work based on agreed terms of payment.<br /><br />Example of someone who is an employer:<br />1. A paddy farmer who employs a farm worker to process/work the rice field with daily wages.<br /><br />2. A plantation entrepreneur who employs several workers to fetch coconuts with an agreed payment.<br />Examples of casual worker in agriculture: worker who harvests paddy; worker who tills a rice field/farm land; worker who collects sap from the rubber trees; worker who harvests shrimp from a fish pond, worker who picks coffee, coconut, clove, etc.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 118]</span><br /><br />f. "Casual worker not in agriculture" is someone employed in non-agriculture enterprises by different people/employers/institutions (more than one employer during the last month) who receives payment either in cash or kind based on a daily wage or contract. Non-agriculture enterprises are all businesses in all other sectors except agriculture.<br />Examples of casual worker not in agriculture: Coolies in the market, station or other places with no permanent employer; passenger recruiter for public transportation; traveling clothes washer, picker of items from trash piles, construction helper, casual parking attendants, etc.<br /><br />g. "Unpaid worker" is someone who works by helping others without receiving wages/salary either in cash or in kind.<br /><br />Unpaid worker consists of:<br />1. Household member such as a wife who helps her husband work in the rice field.<br />2. Relative but not a household member who helps in a food stall.<br />3. Non-relative and non-household member who helps weave a hat for his neighbor in a home industry.</div><br /><br />The method of filling in: use the appropriate code corresponding to the respondent's answer.<br /><br />Some examples to determine the field of activities/industry, type of activities/occupation and status of employment are as follows:<br /><br />1.<br />Andi, Eko, Nita, Hery, Toni, and Adi are employed at a shoe factory owned by Mrs. Dewi. Andi works as the raw materials buyer, Eko supervises the workers who make the shoes, Nita is a typist, Hery as a driver, Toni is a shoe maker, and Adi is an office boy.
