Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="ZA01A457"><span class="em">Question P-19d -- Hours worked</span><br /><br />"How many hours did (the person) work in the seven days before 10 October?"<br /><br />Remember to include overtime and to add hours worked at a secondary place of work, if any.<br /><br />If the person was absent from work those seven days, but usually works, indicate the number of hours s/he usually works, including overtime.<br /><br />Write two digits. Nine hours = 09, 30 hours = 30.<br /><br />If the respondent says the number of hours he/she works, ask if it is per day or per week. If it is per day multiply the number of hours by the number of days worked during that week.<br /><br />If a person reports 70 hours per week or more, probe. A normal working week is 5 x 8 hours = 40 hours, or thereabouts. Even including the weekend 7 x 8 would be 56 hours.<br /></svar>
