An employee is defined as an individual who has a labor relationship with an organization in accordance with national laws or in accordance with its relevant applicable requirements. Providing a breakdown of employees by gender provides insight into the gender distribution across the organization. Providing employee segmentation data by region provides insight into regional differences. A region can refer to a country or other geographic location, such as a city or a world region.
The definitions of permanent, temporary, hourless guarantee, full-time, and part-time employees vary from country to country. If your organization has employees in multiple countries, it is appropriate to calculate country-level data based on the legal definition of the employee's country. It would then be preferable to combine country-level data to calculate totals, regardless of differences in national legal definitions. An employee without an hour guarantee is an employee who is not guaranteed a minimum or fixed number of hours worked. They may be required to be in a workable state, but the organization is not contractually obligated to provide employees with a minimum or fixed number of hours of work per day, week, or month. Temporary employees, zero-hour contract employees, and standby employees are all in this category. If the organization is unable to report exact data, it may report the nearest ten digits of the number of employees, or if the number of employees exceeds 1,000, the nearest 100 digits and explain this under 2-7-c.
