  = Cross-cutting variables and categories =
--1. To provide complete and coherent statistics on work relationships, information is needed on characteristics of jobs and work activities that are not measured in the classifications of status at work and status in employment. This information should be measured through a set of variables and categories based on characteristics associated with the degree of risk, stability and permanence of a particular employment or work arrangement and provide definitions for situations that may be represented in several categories of the classifications by status. They may be used for the generation of statistics in their own right, or combined in output with relevant status categories to construct output classifications relevant for national purposes.
--1. The following cross-cutting variables are required to compile statistics on the detailed categories in ICSE-18:
--11. duration of work agreement;
--11. type of employment agreement;
--11. contractual hours of work;
--11. forms of remuneration;
--11. place of work;
--11. job-dependent social protection coverage;
--11. reason for non-permanent employment.
--1. While not required for the compilation of statistics on status in employment, the following variables and categories are essential for the compilation of coherent statistics on work relationships or for the identification of important groups of interest:
--11. duration of employment in the current economic unit;
--11. seasonal workers; full-time/part-time status;
--11. domestic workers;
--11. home-based workers;
--11. multi-party work relationships;
--11. paid annual leave;
--11. paid sick leave.

  = Duration of the job or work activity and hours of work =
--**77. **Since many of the detailed categories in ICSE-18 include jobs which differ significantly in their capacity to provide ongoing and full employment, statistics classified by status in employment, and particularly the subcategories of employees, should be complemented by information on both the duration of the work arrangement and on hours worked. Two variables on the duration of the job or work activity are necessary to provide a full understanding of the temporal stability of work relationships and to assess the extent to which workers without permanent employment relationships have ongoing employment and income security. These are //Duration of work contract //and //Duration of employment in the current economic unit.//

  == Duration of work agreement ==
--1. //Duration of work agreement //refers to the period of time from the beginning to the end of a written or oral work contract, or in the absence of a contract specifying the duration, to the date on which it is expected the employment will terminate. If the agreement does not specify the duration of the employment and there is no expected date or event on which the employment will terminate, other than the age or time for retirement, the duration is considered to be “without stated limit of time”. This variable is required for the derivation of the subcategories of employees but may also apply to unpaid trainees and volunteers.
--1. When a worker has had a series of ongoing renewed temporary contracts with the same economic unit, the duration of work agreement should be based on the duration of the current (most recent) contract.

  == Duration of employment in the current economic unit ==
--1. //Duration of employment in the current economic unit// refers to the time elapsed since the worker started work with a particular economic unit and can be applied to all statuses in employment. The concept of the duration of work in the current economic unit can also be applied to activities in forms of work other than employment.
--1. When a worker has had a series of renewed temporary engagements with the same economic unit, the duration of employment in that current economic unit should be based on the total duration since the first engagement, unless the gap between engagements was one month or longer. When a worker has been transferred between different establishments or locations within an enterprise, or enterprise group, or between different ministries or departments within the same government, duration in the current economic unit should be based on the highest level institutional unit considered as a single economic unit.

 . //Form of remuneration// refers to the basis on which a worker is paid, rather than on the form of payment (e.g. cash or in kind). It should specify the information relevant to understand the nature of the employment relationship, but not necessarily other aspects of remuneration. The variable “forms of remuneration” is required to assist with identification of the status in employment categories and should include information about all forms of remuneration received by the worker in a particular job. A separate recommended variable on “main form of remuneration”, provides additional information that may be collected by adding an additional question.
 . At a minimum, the following categories are needed:
