<svar a="all" v="BR10A476"><span class="em">Working Hours</span><br />Question 6.53 is intended to capture working weekly hours in the person's main job during the date of reference.<br /><br />But what are working hours?<br />Working hours are those in which a person:<br /><div class="i1">a) Works in the workplace;<br />b) Works outside the workplace on tasks related to his/her occupation. For example: a teacher prepares lessons and corrects tests in his/her household;<br />c) Stays in the workplace to perform his/her tasks, even without getting clients or customers;<br />d) Stays in the workplace, waiting without being able to perform his/her tasks due to machinery failure, accidents, lack of material or task assignment;</div><br /><br /><span class="pg">[page 268]</span><br /> <br /><div class="i1">e) Works for preparation, maintenance and cleaning of work tools;<br />f) preparation time to elaborate programs, schedules, reports and forms related to work, including those from legal obligations, and<br />g) break periods at work, including breaks to drink water, coffee or tea, etc.</div><br /><br />During working hours you should not include:<br /><div class="i1">a) lunch or meal breaks, and<br />b) time spent commuting from home to work.</div><br /><br /><span class="em">6.53 - In your main job, how many hours per week do you usually work?<br />_________________ Hours</span><br /><br />Record the number of hours per week that a person usually works in the main job (on the week of reference).<br /><br />The record must count full hours. For example, 40 hours and 55 minutes should be recorded as 40 hours, and 35 hours and 20 minutes should be 35 hours.<br /><br />The usual working hours are those that a person spends at work. Therefore, this information is independent if the person worked during the week of reference.<br /> <br /><span class="pg">[page 269]</span><br /> <br />In jobs in which working hours are very irregular, the hours usually should be counted by the average of total hours worked.<br /><br />For people who began working on the week of reference, or shortly before, you should record the hours specified in the contract, verbally or written, or the hours that the person will work normally.<br /><br />For example:<br /><div class="i1">- a person was on vacation on the week of reference, but normally worked from 8 am to 5 pm with a lunch break at noon, from Monday to Friday. During his/her workday he/she used to just make a few short breaks (for coffee, drink water, rest and move around the workplace, etc.). For this person, you should record 40 hours.</div><br /></svar>

Description

Definition
This variable indicates the number of hours that a person usually devoted to work at their primary job in the week of July 25 to July 31, 2010.

Reference periods for work questions are the month of July or the week of July 25-31, 2010. The person was to specify the hours worked during the reference week unless that week was atypical of a normal work week. In the case of an unusual working pattern during the reference week, the individual was to report the usual number of work hours (an average) in a typical week at their primary job. Persons beginning work during the reference week, or a little before, were to report the hours specified in the contract, or the hours that the person wanted to work.
