1. This indicator is measured using the ASHE and the earnings variable of interest is gross hourly earnings excluding overtime where earnings are not affected by absence. For individuals with more than one job (about 2% of employees in the sample) only their ‘main job’ is included in the analysis; as defined by the job with the greatest gross weekly pay and then the greatest total hours. Not set Not set Not set
2. ASHE does not contain information on disability; gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sexual orientation or marriage and civil partnership. Not set Not set Not set
3. All estimates are based on survey data and are therefore subject to uncertainty. Not set Not set Not set
4. This indicator uses unweighted data as the weighting variables within the dataset are intended for cross-sectional rather than longitudinal analysis, consistent with other longitudinal ASHE outputs within DWP. This may bias estimates as data are not necessarily representative of the employee population (calibrated to the Labour Force Survey) or adjusted for differences in response rates across firms.
