Question No. 18. Months worked
[Below the text is a form.]
This question refers to the months worked by a person during the year 1973, from January 1 to October 24.
[p. 55]
A month worked is considered during which a person carried out a trade that reported earnings or worked in a family business, during 15 days of the week or more, together or in intervals.
Mark "x" in the box "did not work" when a person worked less than 15 days during this year or did not work at all.
If a person claims to have worked more than 15 days during this year write down the number of months worked. The minimum to write down is 01 and the maximum 10.
As time worked also those who correspond to vacations, temporary absence due to sickness and other causes should be considered, especially a person who had received remuneration in money and/or kind.
When the information is given in months or fractions of months, specify if the days worked were 15 or more and write the entire number of months. If a person worked less than 15 days of the month it will not count as a month worked.
In the case of persons who did not work 15 days during a single month but who from January to October worked more than 15 days, the days worked will be calculated and the months that are equal to those days will be written down.
