Interviewer instructions

It is very important that you understand the difference between an employee and someone who works for their household's own enterprise. For example, someone who rents a trishaw for a fixed daily rate, uses it to transport individuals, and keeps his earnings from customers, is NOT an employee of the trishaw owner. This is the trishaw driver's own enterprise- there is risk to him each day based on how much he can earn. Thus, in this scenario, you will use code 3.

Question post text

If code 2 and 3, skip to Q30.
