Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.7 Battery V. Work schedule and work regularity</span>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to characterize the employed population, based on their work schedule, their perception of the time worked and the regularity with which they work in their main job.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 5</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons to learn the work schedule they have at their main job.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p><span class="em">Work schedule. </span>The time during which the subordinate worker is available to their employer to perform the work for which their services were hired or the time the independent worker decides to dedicate to their business or company.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 5a</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons to learn their perception about whether during the reference week their work pace in the economic unit for which they work in their main job decreased.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p><span class="em">Decreased work pace. </span>Reduction in the intensity from what an employed person had been working during the reference week, even when the duration of the work schedule in itself remained unchanged.</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />The decreased pace of work may be due to factors directly related to or outside of the employed person, based on whether they are subordinate or independent workers, such as a lack of clients or raw materials, machinery breakdown, reduced production, end of the agricultural cycle, fewer assigned tasks at work, etc. If you notice that the informant did not understand the purpose of the question, read the text between parentheses.</p>
<p>It is very important to emphasize that the fundamental purpose of this question is to learn the personal perception the interviewees themselves have about the intensity with which they worked during the reference week in relation to the tasks they regularly perform, even when the schedule or work shift has remained the same.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- If the informant is not the person to whom the data corresponds and indicates they do not know the response, ask them if the interviewee has said anything about this situation and ask them to tell you what the response of the interested party would be if they were being interviewed directly. One way to adapt the question could be the following: Has ... told you that recently there has been little activity at their job?<br />- Sequence to follow. If you circle option 1, continue with question 5b; if you circle option 2, go to question 5e; if you circle option 3 or 9, go to question 5c.</div>
