The International Standard Classification of Labour Costs is approved by the Resolution relating to Labour Costs adopted by the 11th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (1966). The International Standard Classification of Labour Costs contains the following components: direct wages and salaries, payments for time not worked, bonuses and incentive payments, food, lodging, fuel included in wages and salaries, housing costs, social protection costs, training costs, welfare costs, other costs, and taxes and fees considered as labour costs. Most countries use this classification in their respective surveys.
