Measures usual monthly wage or salary payment before tax and other deductions in current main job for employees. If last gross payment was the “usual”, this is used. If last gross pay was missing, but net pay was present, and this was given as “usual”, the gross pay was estimated from net pay, in the light of information about marital status, partner’s activity, and pension scheme membership. If last payment was not the “usual”, “usual payment” was given gross, this was used. If “usual payment” was net, this was converted as above at GPAYN. Includes imputed data. As this is an individual level derived variable, the imputation flag variable GPAYGUI takes the value 1 if imputed, and 0 or -8 otherwise. See notes on Imputation in Vol. A.
