Temporary Survey Interviewers will be assigned survey duties as required on a weekly basis. Workinghours for Temporary Survey Interviewers will depend on the number of households to be surveyed. Working patterns can be flexible but Survey Interviewers should be available to take on work at least 5 days on average per week outside of the headquarters which in respect of this employment is based in the Survey Interviewer’s home. The flexibility of the working hours is such that the Survey Interviewer is expected to work when potential respondents are available, and the Survey Interviewer will be expected to minimise unproductive work hours and journeys in this regard. Sunday working is not permitted in this employment. No additional payment will be made for extra attendance over and above 25.15 hours per week as the rate of remuneration payable covers any exceptional extra attendance liability that may arise from time to time. Survey Interviewers will be obliged to keep a record of the hours worked as outlined in the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 (Organisation of Working Time (Records) (Prescribed Form and Exemptions) Regulations, 2001.
