| FOM104E - Average number of employees by categories and industry activities at level of NACE division CANE Rev.1 |
| Definition |
The average number of employees comprises the persons employed under a labour contract/agreement on a definite or indefinite duration (including seasonal workers, the manager or the administrator), whose labour contract/agreement relationship was not suspended during the reference period.
The average number of employees is calculated as a simple arithmetic mean of the sum of the daily number of employees (those with suspended labour contract/agreement excluded), over the reference period, including the week-ends, legal holidays and other non-working days, divided by the total number of calendar days.
In the total daily number of employees considered for the calculation of the average number are included the following categories:
- the employees with labour contract/agreement for a definite or indefinite period of time, including the employees detached to work abroad (if the unit that detached them provided remuneration in the country, for which it transferred compulsory social contributions and tax);
- the employees whose labour contract/agreement has been suspended at the initiative of the employer (in case of temporary interruption of activity) and have received an allowance from the basic salary corresponding to the job;
- the employees who are temporarily in work incapacity (medical leave, quarantine/home isolation) during the time period in which they are paid from the employer own funds;
- the employees parents, during the days off granted to them in order to supervise their children, in cases of temporary closure of educational institutions, irrespective of the funds from which they are paid;
- the employees whose working hours has been temporarily reduced, irrespective of the funds from which they are paid.
In the daily number of employees taken into consideration when calculating the average number, the following are not included: employees on leaves without pay, on strike, owners who carry out their activity within their own enterprises and for whom the income source is solely represented by unit dividends and profits, unpaid family workers (persons who are carrying out their activity within an economic unit belonging to the family or to a relative, by helping it and for which they do not receive a compensation as wages and salaries; the payment is done in kind (food, clothing, housing) or occasionally or exceptionally in cash, without being included on payrolls), members of local and county councils, day labourers (persons who carry out unskilled activities on an occasional basis, in accordance with the legal provisions in force). During the week-ends, legal holidays and other non-working days, the number of employees from the previous day is taken into consideration as daily number of employees, except the number of those employees whose labour contract/agreement ceased that day. If the unit established or ceased its activity during the reference period, the daily number of employees is taking into account only for the period in which it operated, and the resulting amount is divided by the total number of calendar days from the reference period.
Part-time employees are included in the average number proportional with the working time included in the labour contract/agreement. In the number of employees taken into consideration in the average number only the paid persons are included.
Exceptionally, in the cases when amounts for prior periods are paid (backdated paid arrears as consequence of wining the lawsuits involving the money rights for the previous years), the number of beneficiaries (former employees or employees with suspended labour contract/agreement) are included in the average number of employees proportionally with the periods for which respective payments are done, so that a direct correlation between gross amounts paid and the average number of employees exists.
Beginning with 2003, the daily number of employees taken into account for the calculation of the average number no longer include the employees whose labour contract/agreement was suspended according to the legal provisions in force. |

| Observations |
For 2008 the data are available only for total employees. The annual data for 2008 were estimated on CANE Rev. 1, fully harmonized with NACE Rev.1. The estimation method applied is based on conversion matrices of economic activities defined according to CANE Rev.2 into the economic activities defined according to CANE Rev.1. Building up the conversion matrices relies on data collected according to CANE both versions, by the annually statistical survey on labour costs for year 2008.
