Description

Gross earnings correspond to the amount paid to all employees in the reference month. It excludes retirement payments, redundancy payments and employee benefits. The length of an employee’s pay period can cause variability in the number of pay days in the month – for example a fortnightly pay normally occurs twice a month, but on some occasions can occur three times in a month. This means that the monthly series can be quite volatile.
