Concepts
Gross earnings and remuneration in kind refers to remuneration in cash covering the basic wage and bonuses, payable by the employer to the employee directly, including state social insurance contributions and individual income tax payable by the employee, as well as remuneration in kind (e.g. all goods and services made available to employees through the enterprise, staff housing, presents and other employers' expenditure in kind).
Labour costs are the total expenditure borne by an employer in order to employ workers. They include: gross remuneration in cash and in kind, employers' social contributions, vocational training costs, other expenditure incurred in order to employ workers. Vocational training costs, other expenditure incurred in order to employ workers and subsidies received by the employer are excluded from the calculation of the labour cost index.
Labour cost index is a relative indicator reflecting the change in labour costs per hour worked over a certain period of time.
Other labour costs refers to employers' social contributions (allowances for sick leave paid by the employer from his own funds; guaranteed remuneration in the event of short-time working, payments to employees leaving the enterprise; family social benefits and others similar costs), except for subsidies received by the employer.
