If the informant answers that the person receives "the minimum", ask that the informant tell you how much the minimum wage is, and how often the person gets paid, so that you can do the math and write the answer in the corresponding space.
When they tell you a daily wage, ask: how many days a week did you work?, do the corresponding multiplication an write the answer in the space for "weekly". You should write the answer according to what the informant tells you; if the person receives income weekly, you should write the answer under "weekly"; if the pay is biweekly, you should write the answer under "Biweekly", etc.
Remember to use only the space that correspond to what the informant declares, and write the complete amount in numbers.
