Note

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 HPAYN. Includes imputed data. As this is an individual level derived variable, the imputation flag variable HPAYGUI takes the value 1 if imputed, and 0 or -8 otherwise. See notes on Imputation in Vol. A.

Inapplicable for those who are not self-employed, and the self employed who do not draw up accounts. (cf. HJSPAYG). Includes imputed data.
