The survey for the year 2022 (and carried out in 2023) is in the "structure of earnings" format (ESS 2022). The data requested were the following:

1- An "establishment questionnaire" on wage policies (type of collective agreement applied, etc.) and staff representation (existence of trade union delegates, staff representatives, etc.);

2- An "employee questionnaire" covering the main components of employee remuneration (gross annual salary, bonuses, etc.), employer contributions (provident fund, etc.), working hours (paid hours, holidays, etc.) and individual information on the employee (type of contract, supervisory position, etc.).

The ESS 2022 data, together with the ESS 2021 data, the data from the survey of employees in the state civil service (FPE 2022) and the data from administrative sources, form the file transmitted to Eurostat for the Structure of Earnings Survey 2022 (SES 2022). The ESS 2021 data are "aged" by one year to be representative of the vintage requested by Eurostat.

In the "Labour Cost" format, the data requested are the following:

1- The "establishment questionnaire" concerns labour costs and their main components (social charges, social complements and allowances);

2- The "employee questionnaire" covers the main components of remuneration and employer's contributions and working time (remuneration and charges, time worked during the year)

The scope of the Ecmoss surveys covers employer establishments belonging to a company with at least 10 employees, in sectors B to S of NACE-Rev2, excluding the State civil service.
