The following microdata product is available from the May 2012 Survey of Employee Earnings and Hours:
- Expanded CURF via the Remote Access Data Laboratory (RADL) and the ABS Data Laboratory (ABSDL).
The survey is designed to provide statistics on the composition and distribution of earnings and hours of employees and whether their pay is set by award, collective agreement or individual arrangement. Distribution and composition of employees' average weekly earnings and hours paid for is classified by sex, adult/junior, full-time/part-time, managerial/non-managerial, sector, industry, occupation, employer size and composition of earnings and hours paid for. Methods of setting pay data are also available by jurisdiction.
The microdata enables users to tabulate, manipulate and analyse data. Steps to confidentialise the dataset are taken to ensure the integrity of data and maintain confidentiality of respondents. This includes removing any information that might uniquely identify an individual, reducing the level of detail for some items and collapsing some categories.
