Interviewer instructions

This question is asked of persons who did no work in the previous seven days. You will determine whether they would have worked, but had not done so due to being ill, being on vacation, being subject to strike lockouts, or any other condition which resulted in a temporary absence of the person from work. If the person is employed and was only temporarily absent from work, record ‘Yes’ and skip to Q4.9. If the
person did no work last week and was not absent from any job that was waiting for them, based on a contract or a definite obligation from an employer, record No and continue with Q4.4.
