NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

 

Since January 2009, statistical data on earnings have been observed, processed and presented according to the National Classification of Activities, 2007 version (NKD 2007.). This Classification entered into force on 1 January 2008 (NN, Nos. 58/07 and 72/07) and, regarding its contents and structure, it is completely in line with the NACE, Rev. 2. Its implementation will provide for a high quality international coverage of statistical data.

 

The implementation of the NKD 2007. in the monthly survey on persons in employment and earnings caused the formation of a new structure of legal entities at the NKD 2007. classes for 2009 and, due to the calculation of indices, for 2008. This means that the structure of the coverage of legal entities in 2008 and 2009 differs from its structure in previous years.

 

The structure of the NKD 2007. is different from that of the NKD 2002. and all relevant changes that occurred in the NKD 2007. can be found in the Methodology for the Statistical Implementation of the National Classification of Activities, 2007 version – NKD 2007. (NN, Nos. 102/07 and 123/08).

 

Data source

 

Data on average monthly gross earnings are based on regular monthly survey covering 70% of persons in employment in each NKD 2007. division. The survey comprises persons in employment in legal entities of all types of ownership, government bodies, and bodies of local and regional government and self-government units, on the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Persons employed in crafts and trades and free lances and private farmers are not covered, so data on their pays are not included in the data on average gross earnings.

 

Since January 2004, the data on average monthly gross earnings have included pays of persons employed in the police and defence.

 

Data on earnings are collected by a report form to be filled in by legal entities on the basis of their respective payrolls.

 

Coverage and comparability

 

Gross earnings cover all kinds of net pays on the basis of permanent employment plus participation: contributions, taxes and surtaxes, as prescribed by law.

 

The statistical survey on average monthly gross earnings of persons employed in legal entities includes gross earnings of persons in permanent employment, irrespective of the kind of employment and number of working-hours. In the case when persons employed in legal entities in one month or during several subsequent months do not get their pays, they are not included in the data on the number of employed persons while calculating the average for that month or months.

 

Data on average gross earnings are presented according to realised pays in current for previous month, which is in line with the pay-off dynamics in most legal entities, so the average earning per employed person refers to the month for which the pay is received. However, if the pays are late for previous months and periods of time, the data are included into average earnings for the referring month, since the monthly survey dynamics does not allow corrections of data that are already issued and used.

 

Definitions

 

Average monthly gross earnings comprise all kinds of net pays on the basis of permanent employment plus participations: contributions, taxes and surtaxes as prescribed by the law.

 

Nominal indices of gross earnings are calculated from data on average monthly gross earnings for respective month and year.

 

Real indices of gross earnings are calculated by dividing index of nominal earnings with a consumer price index for the respective months and years.
