Questions and instructions

Interviewer instructions
The wage and salary earnings (not total earnings) receivable for the wage/salaried work done during the reference week will be recorded in these columns. The status codes for which wage and salary earnings are relevant are 31, 41, 51, 71 and 72. Thus , if one of these status codes appears in column (11), columns (15) to (17) will obviously be filed in. But even if 'work' status codes other than those mentioned above (i.e. if the codes are 11 to 16, 61 and 62) are recorded in column (11), it is to be ascertained from the person as to whether he/she did any 'wage/salaried work, on any day during the reference week. If yes, wage and salary earnings receivable for the days such work was carried out would be recorded in these columns. The wages and salaries for the work done during the reference week may be already received or may be receivable in cash or in kind or partly in cash and partly in kind. The total wage or salary received or receivable for the week in cash will be recorded in column (15) and the value (evaluated at current retail price) of salary or wages in kind received or receivable will be recorded in column (16). The total of columns (15) and (16) will be recorded in column (17). For recording the wages and salaries, amount receivable as 'overtime' for the additional work done beyond normal working time will also be counted. Bonus (expected or paid) and perquisites, evaluated at retail prices and duly apportioned for the reference week, will be considered as wages and included for making entries in these columns.
