Description topics

Jobs of employees
Jobs
A job is an explicit or implicit employment contract between a person and an economic unit, specifying that labour will be carried out in return for remuneration (financial or otherwise). This table concerns jobs of employees, and not jobs of self-employed people. More specifically, it concerns jobs of employees who are liable to pay wage tax and social security premiums in the Caribbean Netherlands.
An employed person may have more than one job at a time. For the calculation of the average number of jobs in a certain period the starting date and end date of a job is taking into account. The weekly working hours are left out of account. Two successive jobs both with a 6-month working period will always count as one job in the average number of jobs, regardless of whether these jobs are full-time or part-time.

Employee
A person who has a contract with an economic unit to carry out work in return for financial remuneration.
Average annual wage
Wage
A payment made in cash or in kind to employees, except wages during illness, redundancy payments and compensation for health insurance premiums.
