Interviewer instructions
Columns (8) to (15): Particulars of enterprise and conditions of employment: Certain probing questions will be asked to determine the particulars of enterprises and conditions of employment to those engaged in the non-agricultural sector as well as in the agricultural sector excluding growing of non-perennial crops (NIC-2008 group 011), growing of perennial crops (NIC-2008 group 012), plant propagation (NIC-2008 group 013) and mixed farming (NIC-2008 group 015). Thus, for persons with industry groups 014, 016, 017 and divisions 02 to 99 of NIC 2008 in col. (5), particulars of the enterprises where the household members are usually engaged will be recorded in columns (8) to (11) for all the workers (i.e., for those with activity status codes 11, 12, 21, 31, 41 or 51 in column 3), and conditions of employment will be recorded in columns (12) to (15) for those with status codes 31, 41 or 51 in column (3). Note that in this block the particulars to be collected in columns (8) to (15) will pertain to the principal status (col. 3) and industry (col. 5) obtained for the person.
Column (12) to Column (15): Columns 12 to 15 will be filled in for each employee (i.e., those with code 31, 41, or 51 in column 3) working in industry groups 014, 016, 017 and divisions 02 to 99 of NIC 2008 in col. (5).
Column (12): Type of job contract: It is to be ascertained for each employee (i.e., those with code 31, 41, or 51 in column 3) whether for the job in which he/she is engaged, there is any written contract or agreement, irrespective of whether such contract is protected under national legislation or not, in respect of duration of employment with his/her employer. For those who reports to have written job contract with their employer, further probing may be done in respect of the length of duration of job contracted, and the information so obtained may be recorded in terms of the code 2, 3 or 4, depending upon the length of such contract.
If the contract of employment specifies a particular date of termination which is more than 3 years or if the type of job contracted is such that no time is fixed but the contract can only be terminated for certain administrative reasons such as incompetence, misconduct or for economic reasons then code 4 will be recorded. However, if no written contract exists, then irrespective of the duration of employment, code 1 will be recorded.
