V. EXPLANATION OF CONCEPTS

STAFF GROUP, POSITION IN WORK The considerations taken into account when assigning the employees and the members of co-operatives to staff groups are different depending on the character of their activity. The staff groups of those of manual occupation by the degree of qualification of their acitivity and their assignment by the employer to wage categories are the following: Skilled workers are those who have a qualification corresponding to their occupation as well as those who have no documented qualification but obtained the qualification of skilled worker by long practice and on this basis their employer assigned them to the wage category of skilled workers, and alsó those having declared themselves to be skilled workers. Semi-skilled workers are those who have no qualification in their profession, in generál they pursue the same occupation as the skilled workers after they have been trained and their employer assigned them to the wage category of semi-skilled sorkers, and alsó those having declared themselves to be semi-skilled workers. Unskilled workers are those who are employed to perform tasks requiring no qualification or training, receive the wages of unskilled workers and declared themselves to be unskilled workers. In the case of those of non-manual occupations, the three categories of position (assigment) in work förmed by contracting the detailed staff groups according to the FEOR, express the place of the workers in the system of the division of labour. The main aspect of the delimitation was the character of the main task in the given scope of work (leading, managing activity, independent work in a special field, coping with problems on their merits or settling current affairs-administrative activity). The categories of the position in work are the following: Chiefs and managers are those who perform tasks related to generál and professional direction, management in enterprises, co-operatives, offices, institutes, central and local public administration institutions, party and social organizations, health, educational and cultural institutions. E.g. to this category belong the ministers, under-secretaries of state, generál directors, presidents, chief accountants, chief engineers, heads of departments, heads of sections and their deputies as well as leaders of factory sections, production branches, heads of agricultural farms, heads of agricultural colonies, forestry managers, works managers, foremen of construction works, site architects, foremen, workshop managers, those directing the movements on the spot in transport, post and telecommunication, heads of wholesale establishments, depots, local offices, chief storekeepers, heads of shops with three or more workers, of catering and service units and their deputies. Group leaders belong not to this category but to that of the subordinated professionals.
