Interviewer instructions
Hours usually worked per week refers to the typical value (mode) of the hours actually worked per week assessed over the last (month/4 weeks/30 days), as self-declared by the respondent. Record hours in 1 hour intervals. If the respondent indicates less or more than an hour, round up or down to the nearest hour. If the respondent reports variable hours, encourage them to estimate the average over the last 30 days/4 weeks/month.
Fill the hours usually worked for each job (M, S and O). The total hours usually worked per week (F1E4T) should generally be computed as the sum of the hours worked in each job. An exception is respondents with multiple jobs who carry out their different jobs on different weeks of the month. For these cases, (F1E4T) should be the typical (mode) number of hours usually worked per week. If the respondent cannot provide a typical number of hours worked per week, then record the average number of hours worked per week.
In all cases, the total hours usually worked per week should be confirmed by the respondent and recorded. If the total (F1E4) exceeds 84, a double check with the respondent should be done. If the respondent cannot estimate as working hours are too variable, this can be recorded under code 97 for the job in question.
