Data Collection Notes

The survey is conducted in coordination with the Regional Offices (except the National Capital Region) of the Department of Labor and Employment. On a project basis, individuals are hired to personally deliver and retrieve the questionnaires from the establishments. In some instances, questionnaires are mailed to establishments in less accessible or conflict prone areas, in which case a self-addressed envelope is provided. The establishments may also submit the accomplished questionnaires through fax. Delivery of questionnaires starts in July of the reference year and retrieval commences after all questionnaires have been delivered or within 10 working days from delivery to an establishment or on a date agreed upon by the contact person and the enumerator.

Note: Refer to Field Operations Manual, Chapter 2.5
