Interviewer instructions
<svar a="FR68A406 FR68A425" v="FR68A405 FR68A406 FR68A425 FR68A438"><span class="em">Question 14: Professional status.</span><br />Category 5: "Worker at home for a total of one or more businesses" does not allow for people who work at their home for their own business (artisans, sewers, stylists). This category applies on the other hand to people who do work at their home, often as they will, for the affairs of an industrial or commercial establishment who reimburses them for this. Such is the case, for example of some newspapers designers, of people working for clothing industries or performing secretarial work for the affairs of some administrations, etc.<br /></svar>
