These items must be asked for all persons with entry of jobs in Column 15, except for the following:
Unpaid family worker on a family operated activity (code 6 in Col. 19); and
Operators or managers of a family operated activity who do not receive salaries and wages either in cash or in kind from the family business or enterprise (code 3 or 4 in Col. 19).
Based on the answer in Col. 26, ask the basic pay received by the HH member. Only those with codes 0 - 6 in Col. 26 must have entries in this column. This means that only those receiving cash salaries and wages should have entries in this column. Take note however of cases when a worker receive only in kind salaries and wages as payment for their services (not additional benefits). This should be imputed and entered as basic pay.
Entries for this column must be salaries/wages per day.
Per piece:
Rate per piece*Number of pieces per day
Per Hour:
Rate Per Hour* Normal working Hours (excluding OT)
The Normal Working Hours to be used in the computation of salaries and wages must not include OT services. This should be differentiated from the normal working hours entered in Column 21, which may possibly include working hours for OT services.
Monthly:
Rate per Month / No. of Working Days per Month
