Concepts
  • STAFF:  The persons who during the reference period participated in the business of the enterprise/institution, regardless of the duration of this participation, under the following conditions: a) staff bound to the enterprise/institution by na employment contract, receiving remuneration in return; b) staff which has ties to the enterprise/institution, who, for not being bound by na employment contract, does not receive regular remuneration for the hours worked or the labour supplied (e.g. owner-managers, unpaid family workers, active members of cooperatives); c) staff with ties to other enterprises/institutions who worked at the enterprise/institution and receive remuneration directly from it; d) persons in the above situations, absent for a period of no more than one month due to holidays, labour dispute, vocational training, as well as disease and occupational accident. The following persons are not considered to be staff: i) those in the situations described in a), b), and c) above and who are absent for a period of over one month; ii) workers with ties to the enterprise/institution who moved to other enterprises/institutions, receiving remuneration directly from the latter; iii) workers in the enterprise/institution whose remuneration is borne by other enterprises/institutions (e.g. temporary workers); iv) self-employed workers (e.g. service providers, that use the so-called 'recibos verdes', which is the popular name of the receipt form).
  • BASIC REMUNERATION:  The gross amount, before deduction of taxes and social security contributions, in cash or in kind, paid regularly in the reference period and corresponding to the normal working period.
  • INSTITUTIONAL UNIT:  The institutional unit is an elementary economic decision-making centre characterized by uniformity of behaviour and decision-making autonomy in the exercise of its principal function. A resident unit is regarded as constituting an institutional unit if it has decision-making autonomy in respect of its principal function and either keeps a complete set of accounts or it would be possible and meaningful, from both an economic and legal viewpoint, to compile a complete set of accounts if they were required.
  • ENTERPRISE:  Legal entity (natural or legal person) that is an organisational unit producing goods or services, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations.
  • INSTITUTIONAL SECTOR:  Institutional units with a similar type of economic behaviour are grouped into institutional sectors. Institutional units are classified in sectors on the basis of the type of producer they are and depending on their primary activity and function, which are considered indicative of the units' economic behaviour. A sector is divided into sub-sectors according to its own criteria, which makes for a more accurate description of the units' economic behaviour. Each institutional unit belongs to a single sector or sub-sector.
  • REMUNERAÇÃO BRUTA:  Refere-se ao montante ilíquido, em dinheiro ou em géneros, pago aos trabalhadores que se incluem no conceito de "pessoal ao serviço", pelas horas de trabalho efetuadas ou pelo trabalho realizado no período normal e no extraordinário. Inclui ainda o pagamento de horas remuneradas mas não efetuadas (férias, feriados e outras ausências pagas) e os subsídios que se revistam de caráter regular como sejam os subsídios de alimentação, de função, alojamento ou transportes, diuturnidades ou prémios de antiguidade, produtividade, de assiduidade, isenções de horário, subsídio por trabalhos penosos, perigosos ou sujos e subsídios por trabalhos de turnos e noturnos.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  In extracommunity trade is the calender year during which the goods are imported or exported and is determined by the date of acceptance of the Single Administrative Document by Customs Authorities. In intracommunity trade is the calendar year during which the event that originates the intracommunity transaction occurred, i.e., for arrivals, at the time of receipt of the goods by the company and for dispatches, at the time the goods left the company.
  • REMUNERAÇÃO DO TRABALHO POR CONTA DE OUTREM:  Montantes em dinheiro e em géneros a pagar pelos empregadores aos seus trabalhadores como retribuição pelo trabalho prestado por estes últimos no período de referência. Subdividem-se em ordenados e salários em dinheiro e em géneros e em contribuições sociais dos empregadores efetivas e imputadas a cargo da entidade patronal.
