Total Labour Costs (Sample Survey)
Introductory note | Contents |
This publication contains the results of the Labour Cost Survey (LCS) for 2001. These results reflect the level of labour costs broken down by branch, region, ownership, and the size of reporting units.
Labour costs comprise the following:
- wages and salaries (including wages in kind counted into earning),
- wage compensation for hours not worked,
- social benefits,
- social costs and expenditures (both statutory and non-statutory),
- personnel costs,
- taxes and subsidies related to employing people.
Data were collected by Questionnaire ÚNP 4-01. Reporting units were the incorporated businesses of business sphere and organizations of non-business sphere (except for the armed forces). LCS encompassed all branches of the national economy and all size groups of reporting units. LCS among units with 1-499 employees was on a selective basis, among units with 500 employees or more it was an across-the-board survey. The Questionnaire ÚNP 4-01 was sent out to 5,878 businesses employing 1,526 thousand persons. The response rate by region ranged between 73.0 % and 88.2 %, with the average of 77.8%. The results based on the statistical set were weighted to the full number of units of the basic set based on the CSO Business Register by branch and size group.
Selected Aggregate Information for the Czech Republic
a) Average Labour Costs for 2001 (per month and 1 employee)
- Average for the Czech Republic in total 21,594 CZK
b) Labour Cost Structure for 2001
Notes:
- As the resulting data are first calculated and then rounded off, the sums in some cases may differ by one.
- The size of included reporting units is different from the routine state statistical reporting; therefore, average monthly wage for 2001 is not identical with that mentioned in former publications of the Czech Statistical Office.
