33. Question 27 -- explanations: Income from work as salaried employee
A. In this answer include incomes from salaried-work, including: incomes of cooperative members from salaried work and from cooperative profits, incomes of a soldier in compulsory/regular service.
If a person works in several jobs, include the gross income from all workplaces.
If a person has income from salaried-work as well as self-employed work, specify his/her income from salaried work in question 27 and income from self-employed work in question 28.
B. Whoever received salary for his/her work in at least one of the three months mentioned in the question, is asked to examine his/her paycheck and copy the gross wage -- for each month separately.
We are interested in the gross income, since it is not affected by random deductions in one month or another or deductions to the worker's personal status.
Notice!
In order to avoid mistakes, encourage the person to copy the sum from his/her paycheck.

C. "Gross income" includes all payments received by the worker (such as: overtime pay, premiums, 13th salary, refund of expenses, etc.), payments for car allowance, board and lodging and other additions. The gross income should also include payments received from the employer/other sources for periods of absence from work due to sickness, holiday, reserve army service, accident, birth, etc.
"Gross income" is the income before the following deductions: income tax, uniform tax, social security, insurance payments, pension payments, labor union taxes, etc.
"Net income" is the sum left after deducting income tax and social security payments from the gross income and before deducting all other payments.
"Sum for payment" is the sum left in the workers hands after all other deductions (uniform tax, repayment of loans, etc.).
[p. 42]
D. If a person does not know his/her gross income, he/she should write his/her net income. If a person does not receive a paycheck, but receives his salary each month in cash -- with no deductions whatsoever, he/she should register the sum received as net salary.
For example: A nanny receiving a sum of 6000 shekels a month, and the sum is not taxed -- should register her income as following:
[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 27D.]

For example: if the gross income in April was 10,340.35 shekels, write--
[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 27F.]
In any case, mark whether the amount specified is net or gross income (circle the appropriate number).
Notice!
If the family has not written the sum properly, you should correct it and write the sum from right to left, rounded to the nearest shekel.
