  == Job-dependent social protection ==
--1. //Job-dependent social protection// provides information on whether the person is entitled to social protection as the result of employment in a particular job. It therefore excludes “universal” protection schemes that are not dependent on the person’s job.
--1. When measuring job-dependent social protection the national context and labour laws should be taken into account. Measurement may be based on one or more specific forms of social protection (e.g., occupational injury insurance, old-age benefits, health insurance or unemployment insurance) depending on the national context.

  == Access to paid annual leave ==
--**113. **//Access to paid annual leave// refers to the worker’s entitlement and ability to take paid time off granted by the employer. The number of days granted by the employer may vary between countries but also within the same country (e.g. between different industries and occupations) depending on national labour laws and regulations. It is not sufficient to have a legal right to paid annual leave if the worker does not have access to it in practice.

  == Access to paid sick leave ==

The paid sick leave should be dependent on the worker’s job and therefore excludes schemes that are not related to having a particular job. The number of days for which the worker can receive payment during sickness or injury may vary between countries but also within the same country depending on national labour laws and regulations. It is not sufficient to have a legal right to paid sick leave if the worker does not have access to it in practice.

++== Data sources and guidelines for data collection** ** ==
--1. The conceptual framework for statistics on work relationships described in this resolution aims to allow statistics on different types of productive activity to be compiled in a harmonious and comparable manner from different types of data source.
--1. The collection of data for ICSE-18 should follow the same frequency as the measurement of employment. However the level of detail may vary depending on the statistical source, and on descriptive and analytical needs.
--1. All sources that are used as the basis for statistics on employment are also potential sources when collecting the information required to compile statistics on the ten detailed categories in ICSE-18. Different statistical sources have their advantages as well as disadvantages and can frequently be complementary to each other.
--1. Household-based surveys are an important source of labour market statistics. In particular, Labour Force Surveys will be an important source of data for detailed statistics classified by ICSE-18.
--1. Employment may also be measured in other specialized household surveys such as time-use, education and training or more general household surveys such as those concerned with living standards, household income and expenditure or household budget. In such cases it would be appropriate to include questions designed to determine status in employment with a degree of detail that is relevant for the analytical requirements for the statistics. The nature of the questions asked and the degree of detail would in such cases need to reflect the feasibility of data collection given the limitations of the particular data source.
--1. Since the population census is an important source of statistics on employment, there may be a need to classify those employed by status in employment in the Census, in order to produce estimates for small geographic areas as well as for small groups. The need for a strict limit on the number of questions in most population censuses, however, would mean that a short question or module that collects the same concept but with less detail and less precision may be an appropriate solution.
--1. When establishment surveys are used as a source of statistics on employment, ICSE-18 should be applied when there is a need for information about different types of employment arrangements. However the level of detail should reflect the national needs for the information, and the feasibility of collecting the information from establishments.
--1. Administrative records, developed or adapted for statistical purposes, may also be an important input for the production of employment statistics. The administrative records could, for example, be based upon tax systems, employment services, pension schemes or social security administration. If a country is using administrative records in order to produce employment figures then it might also be relevant to derive status in employment categories from these records. The possibilities to do so depend on the structure and content of the country-specific administrative sources.
--1. Compilation of statistics according to ICSaW-18, or subsets of it, will be dependent on the availability and frequency of collection of statistics on the different forms of work.
--1. In order to facilitate international comparability of the statistics, data on work relationships should be collected on the basis of the most recent relevant data collection and methodological guidelines released by the ILO.
