Enterprise an
organisational unit producing goods or services, the smallest combination of
legal units, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision
making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise
performs one or more activities in one or more places. An enterprise can be one
legal unit.
In-service training training measures
or activities (incl. formal education) that the enterprise finances either
partially or entirely for its employees (paid study leave and enabling to leave
for school during paid working hours are also regarded as partial financing). In-service training is planned in advance and have a specific
purpose. Measures or activities that are financed entirely by
the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund, other
public institutions or the employees themselves do not belong here. In-service
training can be divided into internal and external in-service training courses
and other ways of training. Training of apprentices/trainees is not considered
to be in-service training.
Principal activity of the enterprise the activity of the
enterprise that consumes the biggest number of working hours. The principal
activity of an enterprise is coded according to a 5-diggit code of the Estonian
Classification of Economic Activities (EMTAK).
The number of
employees or the number of people working in the enterprise the number of all the employees in the enterprise despite
the length of their working week.
Employees include:
- the owners working in the enterprise and their family
members working without pay;
- full-time or part-time employees who are listed as
paid employees;
- persons working outside the enterprise (e.g.
marketing personnel) but belong to the staff of the enterprise and are listed
as paid employees;
- persons who are temporarily absent from work (on sick
leave, paid leave, study leave, strike etc);
- seasonal workers, apprentices (trainees) and
out-workers, who are listed as paid employees;
- persons working under a contract for services.
Family members working without pay are persons who are living
together with the owner of the enterprise and work in the enterprise on a
regular basis but have not concluded a contract and do not receive pay for
their work. Only persons who are not listed as full-time paid employees in
other enterprises belong to this category.
The number of employees does not include employees of other
enterprises who operate in the enterprise in question by performing orders, nor
the persons who are absent from work for a long period (on parental leave, in
compulsory military service, etc.), who have been absent and have not received
pay throughout 2010.
The number of
participants of the in-service training a participant of a
training course is a person who has participated at least in one in-service
training course in the reference period. Every person can be counted only once
regardless of the number of times he or she has participated in the in-service
training courses. Thus, if an employee has taken part in two external training
courses and one internal training course, he or she will be considered as one
participant.
The number of worked hours of employees the number of worked
hours is the total number of hours actually worked by the employees in the
reference period. In addition to standard working hours, all overtime hours
must also be shown. The paid working hours that were actually not worked
(holidays, sick leaves, etc.), also lunch breaks, time spent on coming to work
and leaving work, time spent on formal education (acquisition of education) and
professional training (courses, exercises), and other time not belonging
directly under the working time will not be taken into account.
Survey on the adult education in enterprises (CVTS) is a part
of an international survey that is organised in all of the EU Member States at
the same time. The aim of the survey is to collect data on the activities of
employers concerning in-service training. Statistics
In 2011, the sampling frame was 6,183 enterprises. The sample-size of the Estonian survey
was 3,000 enterprises, of which 1,859 (1049 persons) were small, 1,000 medium
(50249 persons) and 141 large enterprises (250 and more persons).
The 2010 year version of the Estonian Business Register was
used as a source of the sampling frame. Only the enterprises that are included
in the scope of the sample were selected with 10 and more employees in 2010
in 20 NACE categories.
The sampling frame comprises of 6,183 enterprises, allocated
in 120 strata (20 rows and 6 columns). The strata are defined by the 20 NACE
categories and the 6 size classes according to the number of employees (1049,
5099, 100249, 250499, 500999 and more than 1,000).
The results are disclosed by the principal activity of the
enterprise and by the number of employees in the three size classes: the
enterprises with 1049 employees, the enterprises with 50249 employees and the
enterprises with 250 and more employees.
