We switched to the new administrative data source with the reference month of April 2024. For preparing monthly statistics on earnings of persons in paid employment by legal persons and thus for calculating average monthly gross and net earnings, we used data from the withholding tax calculation for income from which withholding tax and/or social security contributions are calculated (the REK-O form).
Due to the transition to a new data source (REK-O form), in order to ensure a comparable time series, in the new tables we also published data on average monthly earnings of persons in paid employment by legal persons for the period from January 2023 to March 2024 calculated based on this data source.
Already published (official) data on the amount of earnings by individual months (for the period up to and including March 2024) are not changed due to these calculations from the new source. Data up to and including March 2024 according to the previous methodology are published in the archive in table 0701055S .

INSTITUTIONAL SECTOR

Data on earnings are published by institutional sectors according to the Standard Classification of Institutional Sectors. Institutional sectors are composed of institutional units, which are elementary economic decision-making centres characterised by uniformity of behaviour and decision-making autonomy in the exercise of its principal function. Criteria for the allocation of the institutional units in the institutional sectors are marketability and control.
We distinguish the following main institutional sectors: non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households, non-profit institutions serving households and the rest of the world.
