Interviewer instructions
Usual hours refer to the hours that the respondent usually works on each day in his / her main job.
Record the usual hours in the first row, you must ALWAYS round off to the nearest hour. If the person worked 1 hour and 30 minutes, record 2 hours. If the person worked 5 hours and 15 minutes, record 5 hours only.
Please note there is a distinction between operational hours for the establishment and the hours worked by individuals. For example, a security company may operate for 24 hours while its employees work in shifts of say 12 hours per day. If an employee works for more than 12 hours please probe further for clarity and thereafter put note at the bottom or front page of the questionnaire, by indicating the person number and column number.
Those people who have been absent at their work or on leave, you must record their USUAL hours only, and NOT their actual hours, since they didn't work.
