PART II SCOPE AND METHOD OF SURVEY
1. Introduction
1.1 His torical background The Government has since 1964 conduc ted a survey entitled "Wage Survey" at half-yearly intervals. On the basis of the results of this survey, wage indexes and statistics on the absolute level of wage rates and establishment practices with regard to pay were compiled and published. However, these statistics suffered from several defects. Firstly, there were large gaps in coverage. Economic sectors other than manufacturing and public utilities were largely not covered. Even in the manufacturing sector, many industries that in recent years had become important were left out, while many of those covered were no longer important. Secondly, the survey covered only craftsmen and other operatives, excluding other occupations. Thirdly, the sample used was not a probability one and covered essentially the large establishments. Finally, the statistics were a~ailable half-yearly and this was not sufficiently frequent for the purpose of monitoring the short-term changes in the economy. To improve the situation, a new quarterly Survey of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits was conducted as from March 1982 to replace the old one.
1.2 Areas of improvement As compared with the old wage survey, the new survey introduces the following areas of improvement :-
a) the sample size is enlarged from 350 establishments to around 2 000 establishments;
b) supervisory, technical, clerical and miscellaneous nonproduction workers are included in addition to craftsmen & other operatives; employees at the managerial and professional levels are, however, still excluded in the initial stage of the new survey;
c) a total of 41 industries representing most economic sectors are covered;
d) the frequency of the survey is changed to a quarterly basis so as to facilitate monitoring of short-term changes in the economy;
e) in order to reduce th~ burden on respondents, the rotational sampling method is used; and
f) more detailed and useful information is collected.
The details of the differences between the two surveys and the methodology adopted in the new survey are summarized in the "Quarterly Report of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits Statistics for March, June and September 1982, Volume I" available at $11 per copy at the Government Publications Centre.
1.3 are 0-
Objectives of the survey The objectives of the new survey
a) to compile nominal wage indexes for individual industries analysed by broad occupational group as well as for all the industries covered as a whole to measure the changes in wage rates in money terms;
22
b) to derive r eal wa ge indexes by deflating the nominal wage indexes by the Consume r Price Index for measuring the changes in purchasing power of wages; and
c) as a by-product of the above two objectives, to compile statistics on the absolute level of prevailing wage rates and normal hours of work of principal occupations in the major industries, for refere llce in career counselling and salary determination. However, wage rates do not make up the entire pay package. Employers also pay their employees partly in the form of housing benefits, transportation benefits, etc. To put the pay practices of different industries in perspective, statistics are therefore also compiled on employee entitlement to different types of such benefits.
1.4 Publication arrangement The survey report is published in two volumes to ensure the timely publication of data. The first volume includes basically statistics in the nature of short-term economic indicators (relating mainly to the first two objectives above) which need to be published as soon as possible whereas the second volume contains the detailed occupational data (including statistics on establishment pay practices) which can afford a later publication date. Volume I is published every quarter covering all selected industries. Statistics of occupational wage rates are also published every quarter covering all selected industries in Volume 11. On the other hand, as the methods of granting establishment pay practices are not expected to change frequently, the various industries are divided into 4 sectors and information on establishment pay practices for each sector is collected once every 2 years. Hence, statistics on establishment pay practices for individual sectors are published in Volume 11 after information on the same for the corresponding sectors is collected.
2. Coverage of the survey
2.1 Industrial coverage It is not necessary to cover all industries in the economy and in fact it is not possible to do so in the light of the limited resources available. Hence for the present survey, only the principal industries are covered. Appendix gives a list of the 41 selected industries.
2.2 Occupational coverage In each selected industry, a number of occupations which have clearly understood and definable duties are surveyed if they are either numerically important or identified as being of special interest. Occupations included in the new survey are classified according to the following 6 occupational groups :-
Supervisory, technical, clerical & miscellaneous non-production workers
(i) supervisory and technical workers;
(ii) clerical and secretarial workers;
(iii) service workers; and
(iv) miscellaneous non-production workers.
Craftsmen & other operatives
(i) craftsmen; and
(ii) other operatives.
Employees at the managerial and profe ssional levels are not included for the time being. A list of occupations under each occupational group in the industries covered in this report as well as the job specifications are given in Appendix 2 in the December issue every year.
2.3 Occupational classifications and job specifications are defined in advance of the survey. They are based mainly on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). Because of the emphasis on interestablishment comparability of occupational content, the job specifications may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments. The primary objective of the job specifications is to identify the essential elements of skill, difficulty and responsibility that establish the basic concept of the job.
2.4 Employee coverage The main categories of employee covered in the survey are time-rated and piece-rated workers. Within these categories, workers of both sexes ~re included. The time-rated employees cover all employees paid on a time basis , whether this be hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
2.5 The following categories of employees are excluded unless provision for their inclusion is specifically stated in the job specifications :- proprietors and family workers, out-workers, handicapped workers, part-time workers, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees and workers on probation. Employees Whose duties and tasks do not fit in with the scope of the selected occupations are also excluded.
2.6 Establishment coverage Establishments of medium to large size are covered in the survey. In very small establishments, workers often have no clearly defined job duties and the job they perform cannot be classified into any particular occupation. There may not always be strict adherence to regular work schedules and normal hours of work. If very small establishments were included, the cost of the survey would increase considerably. On the other hand, small establishments make up the majority and if too many are excluded, the survey results would not be representative. Thus, a balance has to be struck. A minimum size limit of establishments covered is determined for each industry and shown in Appendix •
3. Definition of terms
3.1 Basic wages/salaries It is the amount of money, excluding all types of bonuses and allowances, a worker will receive for normal time of work.
3.2 Wages/salaries including fringe benefits It is defined to cover, apart from basic wages/salaries, the following wage elements
( i) ( ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi)
(vii)
cost-of-living allowance; meal benefits; guaranteed year-end bonus; good attendance bonus; night-shift allowance; commission and tips (tips received directly from customers are excluded); and other bonuses and allowances regarded as wages/salaries.
3.3 Unless otherwise specified, the terms "wage rate" or "wages/salaries" are used throughout the report to mean wages/salaries including fringe benefits.
24
3.4 Wage rate is usually thought of as the "price" of labour, and therefore it is usually expressed as time rate and relates to a time unit such as an hour, day, week or month. In this survey, wage rates are collected separately for monthly-rated, daily-rated and piece-rated workers. Because of the limited sample size, statistics showing separately the absolute levels of wages/salaries of each occupation paid on a monthly, daily and piece bases will not be published. Inst e ad, wages converted to a daily basis will be published for craftsmen and other operatives and salaries converted to a monthly basis will be published for supervisory, technical, clerical and miscellaneous non-production workers. Hence, the terms "daily wages" and "monthly salaries" are used in the report.
3.5 Normal working hours per day It refers to the hours of work, excluding meal time and rest time, stipulated by the establishment beyond which any time worked is remunerated at overtime rate or forms an exception to the rules and customs of the establishment.
3.6 Standard working days per month If there is no rest day granted at all in a month, the number of standard working days should be 30. Where rest days are granted on a monthly basis, the number of standard working days should be the difference between 30 and the number of rest days granted in a month. If rest days are granted on a weekly basis, the assumption of 4 weeks in a month should be made.
3.7 With the above definition, the standard working days per week can be easily deduced, as illustrated by the following example . -
(a) 26 days per month will correspond to 6 days a week; (b) 24 days per month will correspond to 5 1/2 days a week; and (c) 23 days per month will correspond to working half day on
alternate Saturdays.
3.8 Establishment pay practices As mentioned above, the ~ge rate is the amount of money paid for normal time of work, and therefore can be taken as the "price" of labour. However, the wage rate does not make up the entire pay package and therefore does not reflect the full price of labour. Employers also pay their employees partly according to establishment pay practices giving such benefits as housing, transportation, social security, etc. To put these pay practices of different industries in perspective, statistics are also compiled on employee entitlement to different types of benefits.
3.9 Establishment pay practices as regards benefits collected in this survey can be classified into the following types :-
(i) paid holidays and leave, including statutory and public holidays and annual leave granted with pay (full or partial), but excluding paid sick leave, maternity leave and rest days such as weekends;
(ii) payments in kind, such as meal benefits, transportation benefits and housing benefits;
(iii) social security benefits such as provident fund scheme, pension scheme, accident insurance other than employee's compensation and medical benefits;
(iv) profit-sharing bonus;
(v) overtime premium.
25
3.10 There are a few points to be made as to the method of collecting profit-sharing bonus and overtime premium. Profit-sharing is defined as the amount of money paid once a year according to the profit earned during the year. Some employers call this a year-end bonus because it is usually paid at the end of the year. In this survey, the distinction between year-end bonus and profit-sharing bonus is based on whether the payment is guaranteed regardless of profit or loss. If it is guaranteed, it is classified as a year-end bonus. Otherwise, it is classified as a profit-sharing bonus even if it has been paid for several years due to sustained profits
3.11 On the other hand, if a worker is asked to work overtime, he will receive the normal-time w~ge rate plus and additional amount called overtime premium. In this survey, the method of collecting information on overtime premium is as follows :-
( i)
(ii)
( iii)
if a worker does not receive overtime premium (i.e. if he receives only the normal-time wage rate less than that amount or even no money) for overtime work, overtime premium is defined as "100% or less";
if a worker receives overtime premium for overtime work, overtime premium is defined as "over 100%".
if a worker is not required to work overtime at all, he is classified into the "not applicable" category.
3.12 Information is collected in terms of percentages of employees currently entitled to each type of benefit listed above. If entitlement varies with length of service, the actual entitlement as in the survey reference month is recorded.
4. Sample design and estimation method
4.1 Sample design In each quarter, a total of some 2 000 establishments are covered, an average of about 50 per industry. The sample consists of 4 replicates each of which is stratified by industry and size in terms of employment. Each quarter, one replicate is replaced in order to spread the burden on respondents of selected establishments.
4.2 The Central Register of Establishments provides a frame for this survey. Like other statistical frames, changes due to births and deaths are quite frequent. Birth cases include two types of establishments: (i) those newly opened and falling within the scope of the survey; and (ii) those not previously within the scope of the survey but having shifted in during the course of the survey. Death cases are (i) closed-down establishments; (ii) establishments that have fallen below the minimum size limit of the survey; and (iii) establishments that have changed their nature of business. The death cases are deleted from the sample. For the birth cases, a supplementary sample is chosen and incorporated into the main sample in each quarter.
26
4.3 The survey is designed to estimate both the changes in and the levels of wage rates. In estimating the change in wage rates, that is, in compiling the wage index , only those estahlishments in the three overlapping replicates in the two consecutive quarters are used. In other words, the sample design for the compilation of wage indexes corresponds almost to a 100% overlap, which is ideal for this purpose. On the other hand, the entire sample is used in the estimation of the levels of wage rates, amounting only to a 75% overlap with the sample in the previous quarter.
4.4 Average daily wages/monthly_ salaries The ultimate aim in estimating wages/salaries is to obtain an average wage rate of an occupation. To estimate the average wage rate of a particular occupation in a particular industry, it is necessary to estimate first the total wage bill (wage rate x number of workers) for that category of worker, and second the total number of workers in that category. The estimated average wage rate is given by the ratio of the estimated total wage bill to the estimated total number of workers. The method is illustrated by the following formula :-
R
where R
~Fi e i xi
~ Fi e i
average wag~ rate for a certain occupation, sex and mode of payment;
grossing-up factor for the ith establishment;
ei
= reported number of workers in that category in the ith establishment; and
reported wage rate of workers in that category in the ith establishment.
The method in calculatculating average wage rates for higher levels of aggregation, e.g. an occupation, an occupational group, a particular industry and all industries combined can be done by simply extending the summation sign in both the numerator and the denominator to cover all workers in the required level of aggregation before dividing.
4.5 The above formula is a simplified one and aims at conveying the idea of the estimation method. The simplified formula has assumed that all establishments belonging to a certain industry and employment size at the time of sample selection remain in that stratum in all subsequent surveys. As this is not a realistic assumption, a more sophisticated formula is adopted to cater for such shift in sampling stratum and tabulating stratum.
4.6 Normal hours of work and standard working days The method mentioned in para. 4.4 above applies also to the calculation of statistics on 'normal hours of work' and 'standard working days'.
27
4.7 Establishment pay practices Statistics of establishment pay practices are expressed in terms of the percentages of workers entitled to such benefits. The estimation method is given below :-
p
where p average percentage of workers in a certain occupational group entitled to a particular kind of pay practices;
grossing-up factor for the ith establishment;
reported percentage of workers in that occupational group entitled to that kind of pay practices in the ith establishment; and
reported number of workers in that occupational group in the ith establishment.
5. Notes in interpreting the results
5.1 Changes in wage rates Wage indexes are compiled from data of overlapping establishments in two consecutive quarters. Of the four replicates of roughly 500 establishments each, three of them are used in the compilation of wage indexes. However, the entire four replicates are used in the compilation of the level of wages. As a result, the movement of absolute levels of wage rates may differ from the movement of the indexes. Where this happens, the wage indexes should be used.
5.2 Piece-rates Piece-rated workers are common in several industries of the manufacturing sector in Hong Kong. As the word 'piecerates' denotes, wage rates should be measured on a per-piece basis. However, products vary from establishment to establishment and even within an establishment in size, value, style, material used, degree of sophistication and skill required, etc. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to standardize the piece unit to fit all industries concerned. Hence, a time basis is employed to measure piece-rated wages. When asking for piece-rated wages, the normal output of an average worker within a certain time period is obtained together with the rates per unit of output. An assumption has been made that there is sufficient work for the worker to work unceasingly within the time period. In view of this, the wage rate of piece-rated workers should not be used to calculate their actual earnings.
5.3 Reliability A sample of 2 000 establishments cannot bear detailed analysis. The detailed breakdowns of wage rates for individual occupations and establishment pay practices are therefore recommended for rough guidance only.
5.4 Old and New Survey There are a number of differences between the old and new survey in definitions of terms, coverage of establishments and occupations and so forth. Comparisons on the results of the two surveys should take into consideration the differences of the two surveys.
5.5 Suppression of statistical information In this report, statistics of occupational wage rates compiled basing on data collected from less than 10 establishments and those of establishment pay practices compiled basing on data collected from less than 3 establishments are suppressed from publication because either (1) data are insufficient to provide meaningful statistical results, or (2) there is a possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
