Description
Definition
Status of Employment refers to the status of an economically active person with respect to his or her employment. That is, whether he or she was employed as an employer, own account worker, employee, unpaid family worker, or a member of a producer's cooperative during the past week.
Employer - a person who operates his or her own economic enterprise or engages independently in a profession or trade, and hires one or more employees, including paid family members.
Domestic helpers, family drivers and other households’ helpers who assist in the family-operated business, regardless of time spent in this activity, are not hired employees in the business. Hence, a farm or business proprietor who is assisted purely by such domestic help is not considered an employer.
For example, a retail store operator who is wholly assisted in the operation of his store by unpaid relatives living with him and who employs a carpenter to construct a new building for his store (with operator supervising the work) is not an employer. However, if an operator happens to be the owner or partner of a big firm, which has its own construction unit to take care of its needs, the operator is an employer.
Own-account Worker - a person who operates his or her own economic enterprise or engages independently in a profession or trade, and does not hire any employees.
Employee - a person who works for a public or private sector employer and receives remuneration in wages, salary, commission, tips, piece-rates or payment in kind.
This category includes the following types of workers:
a. Persons working for a private household like domestic helper, households cook, gardener, family driver, etc.;
b. Persons working for a private establishment/industry like:
- persons working in public works projects on private contracts;
- public transport drivers who do not own the vehicle but drive the vehicle on boundary basis;
- dock hands or stevedores;
- cargo handlers at railroad stations or pier;
- paddy harvester getting fixed share of harvest paddy;
c. Persons working for a religious group (monk), missionary (nuns, sisters, etc.), union and non-profit organizations;
d. Persons working for the government or government corporation or any of its instrumentalities;
e. Cambodians working in embassies, legation, chancelleries or consulates of foreign governments in Cambodia;
f. Cambodians working in international organization of Sovereign States of Governments like the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), etc.; and
g. Persons working purely on a commission basis and who may not have regular working hours.
Unpaid Family Worker - usually a person without pay in an economic enterprise
operated by a related person living in the same household. The room and board and cash allowance given as incentives is not counted as compensation for these family workers.
Others - experienced workers whose status is unknown or inadequately described (i.e. new entrants, apprentices)
