Included are persons absent for a short period (due to illness, paid vacation, special leave, etc.) and strikers, but not those who are absent indefinitely. It does include part-time workers considered as such under the laws of the country concerned and on the payroll, as well as seasonal workers, apprentices and home workers on the payroll.

- personnel employed for other scientific and technological activities (e.g., information, testing and standardization, feasibility studies, etc.),
- personnel employed in other industrial activities (e.g. industrial innovation n.e.c.),
