This variable provides data on overtime per week for all respondents in dependent employment at the time of the survey. The data are obtained by asking respondents how many overtime hours they worked in the month before the survey, which is reported in the plb0193 variable in the pl dataset. The number of monthly overtime hours is then converted into weekly overtime hours by dividing the stated number of hours by 4.3. Since PGUEBSTD refers to weekly overtime during the last month, the number may deviate from the difference between average actual weekly working hours and the agreed weekly working hours.
In the years 1984, 1985 and 1987, respondents were not asked about number of hours of overtime per week. For these years PGUEBSTD was generated using the difference between average actual weekly working hours and agreed weekly working hours.
The value (-2) is assigned to non-employed people, employees without set hours and to self-employed people, including self-employed farmers, freelancers, and other self-employed. If individuals helping out in family businesses report overtime hours, we assign a non-missing value.
For implausible answers (agreed-upon weekly working time or actual weekly working time of more than 80 hours per week AND weekly overtime of more than 10 hours we assign the value (-3).
The variable is rounded as duration in hours. This means that the overtime hours are presented as a decimal, with minutes expressed as a fraction of an hour.
