Compensation of employees

Compensation of employees is the total remuneration paid by
employers to their employees in return for work done. Employ-
ees are all residents and non-residents working in a paid job.
Managing directors of limited companies are considered to be
employees; therefore their salaries are also included in the com-
pensation of employees. The same holds for people working in
sheltered workshops.
Compensation of employees is distinguished between wages
and salaries and employers' social contributions.

Additional details

The additional details of some variables in the previous chapters of this
publication are being given in this chapter.

Consumption expenditure

More specific details of the final consumption expenditure are provided
in part of the publication.
There are two classification for the consumption expenditure concept: the
expenditure classification and the acquisition classification.
The expenditure classification refers to expenditure on consumption goods.
In contrast the acquisition classification refers to the acquisition of
consumption goods and services. The difference between these concepts lies
in the treatment of certain goods and services financed by the government
or NPI households but supplied to households as social transfers in kind.
By convention, all final consumption expenditure by NPI households and
most of the final consumption expenditure by the government in the field
of education, health, social security and welfare, sport and recreation
and culture are treated as individual consumption.
I. The expenditure classification of final consumption:
This classification focuses on the expenses for consumption goods and
services. The total final consumptions is divided to sectors which
actually financed the consumption expenditures.
Classification scheme:
Total final consumption expenditure=
Consumption expenditure by households and by NPI households=
Consumption expenditure by households plus
Consumption expenditure by NPI households
Consumption expenditure by general government=
Collective consumption by general government plus
Individual consumption by general government
II. The acquisition classification of final consumption:
This classification focuses on the acquisition of consumption goods and
services. The total final consumption is divided to groups which have
acquired the consumption goods and services: individuals or the
collective.
Classification scheme:
Total final consumption expenditure=
Actual individual consumption=
Consumption expenditure by households
Consumption expenditure by NPI households
Individual consumption by general government
Actual collective consumption
Data available from 1995 q1. Components of consumption expenditure by
households and NPI households are available from 1995 q1.

Consumption by households incl. NPISH

Final consumption expenditure by households includes the fol-
lowing borderline cases:
- income in kind like accommodation, food, clothing etc.
- services of dwellings, which are occupied by the owners
themselves and without any actual rent payments. These
services are valued by applying the rents of similar dwellings.
- goods and services produced for own use, as in agriculture.
The value of these products is calculated by applying the
market prices for similar products.
- durable consumption goods such as private cars, household
appliances, furniture and clothing. However, the purchases of
dwellings by households are not seen as final consumption,
but as fixed capital formation by households.
The detailed data on consumption of households concern pri-
vate domestic consumption expenditure. This includes final con-
sumption in the Netherlands by residents and non-residents. Fi-
nal consumption by households can be calculated by deducting
from private domestic consumption expenditure the final con-
sumption by non-residents in the Netherlands (registered as ex-
ports) and adding final consumption by households in the rest of
the world (registered as imports).
Final consumption expenditure by NPI households
Final consumption expenditure by NPI households consists of all
the non-market output of this sector excluding the own account
capital formation.

Compensation of employees total

Compensation of employees is the total remuneration paid by
employers to their employees in return for work done. Employ-
ees are all residents and non-residents working in a paid job.
Managing directors of limited companies are considered to be
employees; therefore their salaries are also included in the com-
pensation of employees. The same holds for people working in
sheltered workshops.
Compensation of employees is classified in wages and salaries
and employers' social contributions.
Wages and salaries
Wages and salaries include income taxes and employees' social
contributions even if they are actually withheld by the employer
and paid directly to tax authorities, social security schemes and
pension schemes.
Wages include payments that are periodically and directly paid
to employees. Besides they contain extra's (such as bonuses,
overtime pay, tips, commission), wages in kind (such as free
housing, free food, 'company car', day nursery, lower interest
rates on mortgages, free travel (or at reduced prices) and holi-
day allowances. Furthermore, certain refunds for costs made by
the employee, such as travel expenses to and from work, are in-
cluded as well.
Employers' social contributions
Employers' social contributions consist of payments to insurers
made by employers for the benefit of their employees. They can
be classified in employers' social security contributions, employ-
ers' private social contributions and the imputed social contributions.
In most cases the employers directly pay the employers' social
contributions to the insurers. However, to show that these con-
tributions are paid for the benefit of employees, these payments
are recorded as two transactions: a) employers pay employers'
social contributions to their employees, and b) employees pay
the same contributions to social insurance funds.
