560 560  
561 561  among whom countries may need and be able to distinguish “employees with stable contracts” (including “regular employees”);
562 562  
563 -1. employers;

565 -1. members of producers’ cooperatives;

568 - **III.     Group definitions**
565 +3. own-account workers;
569 569  
570 -1. The groups in the ICSE-93 are defined with reference to the distinction between “paid employment” jobs on the one side and “selfemployment” jobs on the other. Groups are defined with reference to one or more aspects of the economic risk and/or the type of authority which the explicit or implicit employment contract gives the incumbents or to which it subjects them.
571 -1. Paid employment jobs are those jobs where the incumbents hold explicit (written or oral) or implicit employment contracts which give them a basic remuneration which is not directly dependent upon the revenue of the unit for which they work (this unit can be a corporation, a non-profit institution, a government unit or a household). Some or all of the tools, capital equipment, information systems and/or premises used by the incumbents may be owned by others, and the incumbents may work under direct supervision of, or according to strict guidelines set by the owner(s) or persons in the owner’s employment. (Persons in “paid employment jobs” are typically remunerated by wages and salaries, but may be paid by commission from sales, by piece-rates, bonuses or in-kind payments such as food, housing or training.)
572 -1. Self-employment jobs are those jobs where the remuneration is directly dependent upon the profits (or the potential for profits) derived from the goods and services produced (where own consumption is considered to be part of profits). The incumbents make the operational decisions affecting the enterprise, or delegate such decisions while retaining responsibility for the welfare of the enterprise. (In this context, “enterprise” includes one-person operations.)
573 -1. 1.      Employees are all those workers who hold the type of job defined as “paid employment jobs” (cf. paragraph 6). Employees with stable contracts are those “employees” who have had, and continue to have, an explicit (written or oral) or implicit contract of employment, or a succession of such contracts, with the same employer on a continuous basis. “On a continuous basis” implies a period of employment which is longer than a specified minimum determined according to national circumstances. (If interruptions are allowed in this minimum period, their maximum duration should also be determined according to national circumstances.) Regular employees are those “employees with stable contracts” for whom the employing organization is responsible for payment of relevant taxes and social security contributions and/or where the contractual relationship is subject to national labour legislation.
574 -1. 2. Employers are those workers who, working on their own account or with one or a few partners, hold the type of job defined as a “self-employment job” (cf. paragraph 7) and, in this capacity, on a continuous basis (including the reference period) have engaged one or more persons to work for them in their business as “employee(s)” (cf. paragraph 8). The meaning of “engage on continuous basis” is to be determined by national circumstances, in a way which is consistent with the definition of “employees with stable contracts” (cf. paragraph 8). (The partners may or may not be members of the same family or household.)
575 -1. 3.      Own-account workers are those workers who, working on their own account or with one or more partners, hold the type of job defined as a “self-employment job” (cf. paragraph 7), and have not engaged on a continuous basis any “employees” (cf. paragraph 8) to work for them during the reference period. It should be noted that, during the reference period, the members of this group may have engaged “employees”, provided that this is on a non-continuous basis. (The partners may or may not be members of the same family or household.)
576 -1. 4.      Members of producers’ cooperatives are workers who hold “self-employment” jobs (cf. paragraph 7) in a cooperative producing goods and services, in which each member takes part on an equal footing with other members in determining the organization of production, sales and/or other work of the establishment, the investments and the distribution of the proceeds of the establishment amongst their members. (It should be noted that “employees” (cf. paragraph 8) of producers’ cooperatives are not to be classified to this group.)
577 -1. 5. Contributing family workers are those workers who hold “self-employment” jobs (cf. paragraph 7) in a market-oriented establishment operated by a related person living in the same household, who cannot be regarded as partners, because their degree of commitment to the operation of the establishment, in terms of working time or other factors to be determined by national circumstances, is not at a level comparable to that of the head of the establishment. (Where it is customary for young persons, in particular, to work without pay in an economic enterprise operated by a related person who does not live in the same household, the requirement of “living in the same household” may be eliminated.)
578 -1. 6. Workers not classifiable by status include those for whom insufficient relevant information is available, and/or who cannot be included in any of the preceding categories.
