Preface

This biannual survey on hours of actually worked and average earnings had been initiated in 1972 by the Department of Labour in pursuance of the ILO convention No. 63. However, the survey had discontinued in the middle of 1980’s due to some reasons. The survey has been restarted in 2008 and the months “March” and “September” were concerned as reference period to the survey from year 2008 and onwards.

This report is the eighth of the new survey series on Hours of Actually Worked & Average Earnings of employees covered by 44 wages boards, which were established under the wages board ordinance in Sri Lanka.

The present demand of investors, researchers, planers, policy makers and members of the wages boards for wages statistics have requested the need for such a report. The main objective of this survey is to provide information, which can be used in collective bargaining, minimum wages determination and development policy formulation and monitoring.

This publication has been organized and prepared by the Statistics Division of the Department of Labour under the direction and guidance of Mr. K.W.S. Saddhananda, Deputy Director Statistics.

The Department of Labour acknowledges the cooperation received from the numerous enterprise, organizations, employers and other agencies in providing the required information.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 SURVEY BACKGROUND

This is the eighth annual report in the reoriginated new series, which

is published in The Survey on Hours of Actually Worked & Average

Earnings - 2015.

This series of reports have been continuously published by the

Statistics Division of Department of Labour since 1972, with the data

collected from annual sample surveys. The sample of establishments

was selected from the Annual Employment Survey respond list of the

preceding year. The survey was conducted biannually at the beginning

and it had been continued until 1975. The information on man-hours,

earnings and related matters such as number of days worked, shift

worked, occupational distribution of employees, systems of payments

and pay period have been collected by this survey. However, the

survey had been conducted once a year with reference month as June

from 1975 and the questionnaire was modified to collect information

on employment, man days and hours worked, leaves and salaries

under 8 broad occupational categories. Although the survey was

inactive later, it has been restarted in 2008 and continued until 2013

biannually.

The survey has been conducted twice a year, with the reference period

of whole months March and September respectively from 2008 and

the report was published annually. The Survey on Hours of Actually

Worked & Average Earnings was reorganized in the year 2014 to

represent each wages boards with additional information. The main

purpose of the survey is to compare the average earnings and hours of

work of employees covered by the Wages Board Ordinance with

information of Earnings, Hours of Work, and all the Occupations

covered by 44 Wages Boards. The information, which was collected

by this survey, provides to the Year Book of Labour Statistics and the

Annual Labour Statistics in Sri Lanka. Moreover, the information

collected from the survey could be used to assess the minimum wages,

which were determined by the wages boards of the Department of

Labour.

The new set of questionnaires was introduced with some

improvements under the reorganize project in 2014, including the

basic salaries of workers and earnings of other staffs (staff grade / non

staff grade), who were not belongs to the relevant wages boards.

The Postal Survey technique is adopted to collect the information

from employers covered by the Wages Board Ordinance in the Private

Establishments. In addition, the initial attempt of estimating the

official labour cost was made in this year and the geographical

information of the relevant Establishments was also collected through

this sample.

1.2 ILO DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 The Hours of Work

The hours of work relate to any period of time spent by persons in the

performance of activities, which contribute to the production of goods

and services within the general production boundary as defined by the

United Nations System of National Accounts.

Hours of actually worked per employed is a mathematical concept,

derived by dividing the number of all man hours worked in a year by

the annual average of employed persons. This is obtained the average

annual hours actually worked per employed. Hours actually worked

can also be calculated for each employee.

The various types of statistics on hours of work presented as follows,

Hours actually worked

Hours paid for

Hours usually worked

Normal hours of work

1.2.2 Hours of Actually Worked

The concept of hours actually worked relates to the time that persons

in employment spend on work activities during a specified reference

period, comprising:

(a) Time spent directly on production (producing goods and

services, including paid and unpaid overtime);

(b) Time spent to facilitate production, necessary to work

activities or to enhance the performance of persons (design,

prepare, maintain the workplace, procedures, tools, including

receipts, time sheets, reports), changing time (donning

necessary work clothing), transporting activities (door to

door, bringing agricultural produce to market) and work-

related training;

(c) Time spent in-between main activities (awaiting customers,

stand-by for reasons such as lack of supply of work or

power, machinery breakdown, accident), travel time to

meetings or work assignments, active on call duty (as for

health and technical service professional);

(d) Resting time (short rest or refreshment breaks including tea,

coffee or prayer breaks).

5

Hours of actually worked excludes time not worked, whether paid or

unpaid, such as:

(a) Annual leave, public holidays, sick leave, parental leave,

etc.;

(b) Meal breaks;

(c) Time spent on travel from home to work and vice versa, also

known as commuter travel, that is not actually time spent

working.

Hours of actually worked covers all types of workers, whether in self-

employment jobs or in paid employment jobs; it may be paid or

unpaid and carried out in any location, including the street, field,

home, etc.

1.2.3 Hours Paid For

The hours paid for concept covers workers in paid employment and

comprises all hours, whether worked or not, that have been paid by

the employer. When compared to the hours actually worked of

employees, it covers all paid hours, even those not worked, such as

paid annual vacation, public holidays, paid sick leaves, other paid

leaves, and excludes all unpaid time worked (for example, unpaid

overtime).

1.2.4 Hours Usually Worked

The hours usually worked relates to the hours actually most

commonly worked per week by persons in paid and self-employment

during a long reference period such as a month, season, or other long

period, i.e., the typical value of the weekly hours worked. As

compared to the normal hours of work, all usual overtime is included

in hours usually worked. All time worked not on a usual basis is

therefore excluded.

1.2.5 Normal Hours of Work

The concept of normal hours of work covers a subset of persons in

paid employment (e.g. those covered by labour laws and regulations)

and relates to the hours in a day, week or year that they are expected

to be at the disposal of their employer according to legislation,

collective agreements or arbitral awards. When compared to the hours

actually worked of employees, normal hours of work exclude all

overtime (paid and unpaid) but includes all time, which is paid at

normal rates even if not worked.

1.2.6 Hours Actually Worked Per Employee

Hours actually worked per employed are a mathematical concept,

derived by dividing the number of all hours worked in a year by the

annual average of employed persons. Thus is obtained the average

6

annual hours actually worked per employed. Hours actually worked

can also be calculated separately for employees.

1.2.7 Averaging Methods

For statistics derived from establishment surveys, average hours

actually worked or average hours paid per person or per day or per

week or per month are normally compiled by dividing the total

number of hours actually worked or paid for during a week or a month

by the average number of workers on the payrolls during the same

period. Average hours actually worked or paid per day are generally

compiled by dividing the total number of hours actually worked or

paid for during a week, fortnight or month by the total number of days

actually worked or paid for during the same period.

The following statistics were calculated from this survey.

Average Number of Working Days Per Person

This compiled by dividing the total number of man days worked

during the month by the number of workers in the payroll during that

month.

Average Number of Hours Work Per Day

This calculated by dividing the total number of man hours worked

including overtime hours during the month by total number of man

days worked during that month.

Average Number of Hours Work Per Person Per Month

This calculated by dividing the total number of man hours worked

during the month including overtime hours by number of workers in

the payroll during that month.

Average Earnings Per Person Per Day (In Rs.)

This calculated by dividing total wages earned including allowances,

overtime payments etc. during the month by total number of man days

worked during the month.

Average Earnings Per Person Per Month (In Rs.)

This calculated by dividing the total earnings of workers including

allowances, overtime payment etc. during the month by the number of

workers on the payroll during that month.

Average Basic Earnings Per Month (In Rs.)

This calculated by dividing total basic wages earned excluding

allowances, overtime payments etc during the month by the number of

workers on the payroll during that month.

1.3 MINIMUM WAGES

The minimum wages of each Wages Boards are given in Appendix.
