Description

This variable provides data on actual weekly working hours (including overtime) for all employees at the time of the survey (including the self-employed). The data is obtained by asking respondents how many hours they work on average per week, represented in the plb0186_v# variables from the pl dataset.

Respondents of youth questionnaire (netto-codes 17 and 29) and first-time participants are assigned to [-5] “Not Included In Questionnaire Version” as they are not asked this question.

Values strictly bigger than 80 are assigned missing to [-3] “Not valid”.

PGTATZEIT is expressed as duration in hours. This means that the duration is represented as a decimal, with minutes as a fraction of an hour. For example, if a respondent's weekly working time is 38 hours and 30 minutes, it is expressed as 38.5 hours.

PGTATZEIT is supplemented by the variables on agreed weekly working hours (pgvebzeit) and overtime per week (pguebstd).
