54 Second employment (Questions 21 and 22) [p.76]
1. In the case of individuals having two sources of maintenance, according to 46 point 2, the work which takes less time shall be specified as second employment in questions 21 and 22.
2. In question 21, the name of working establishment shall be provided while complying with the regulations specified in 48 and 51.
3. In question 22, the type of employment shall be provided while complying with the regulations specified in 52 of this guidebook.
4. Census enumerator shall approach the following situations with proper care:

1) Combination of two sources of maintenance is most frequent in the case of individuals being the representatives of agricultural households. They are frequently employed in various branches of industry, such as construction, communication, etc., as well as the perform their tasks while managing the agricultural holding. Therefore, various levels of engagement in the performed tasks may be observed both in the case of the owner of the holding and his or her family members. Such issues are rather complex but shall be settled down in an equivocal manner. The following indications shall be taken into account in such situation:
a) Any kind of work outside agriculture is often performed on a full-time basis. While additionally considering commutation, then it must be stated that such work takes more time. Then, work in agriculture shall be considered to be second employment.
b) Working outside agriculture may also result in minimal engagement in the management of the agricultural holding (less than 2 months spent on such activities, see: question 58, point on page 83). Then, working in agriculture shall not be considered to be a source of maintenance at all.
c) If the owner of the holding also works outside agriculture on full-time basis, then managing the agricultural holding shall be considered to be his second employment. However, a problem arises as in such a case it is difficult to specify whether the individual shall be treated as a holding owner (Question 22), if, for example, one of his or her family members (wife) works in the said holding on full-time basis. The issue shall be settled down with the members of the household. If the supporting person spends more time managing the holding (wife), then the said person shall be considered to be a holding owner, and the lawful owner shall be then considered to be only a supporting party. In this case, the time spent and engagement in the work shall not only relate to physical effort but also to all the undertakings that must be executed in order to manage the holding properly.
2) Owners of agricultural holding frequently receive additional income for providing transportation-related services (for example, transporting wood from the forest, milk from the creamery, as well as in the case of near-urban areas, transporting bricks, debris, snow, etc.) or executing agricultural tasks in other holdings while in the same time utilizing their own equipment. Such type of work, even it has been seasonal in character and has lasted no longer than 3 months in a year, shall be classified as second employment (goods transporters shall have "transporter" written down in question 21 and in question 22 "works on his own account" or "supports no. ?). In some specific cases, the said tasks make take more time than managing own agricultural holding of such an individual. Then they must be included as main employment, and management of the individual agricultural holding shall be classified as second employment.
3) Village mayors are frequently individual farmers. Due to the fact that some task performed by them are connected with receiving income, they shall be treated as sources of maintenance. Nevertheless, as performance of such tasks takes less time than managing the individual agricultural holding, the former shall be classified as second employment (such individuals shall have "village mayor" written down in question 21 and in question 22 "commissioner"). If the given person is only the village mayor, then his work shall be considered to be the major employment.
