Working Hours and Employment Status
For working hours, the vast majority expressed that they worked beyond 8 hours.
Of these 23 responses, five, work regular 12-hour shifts. The rest of the answers
were distributed relatively evenly from an additional two hours to as much as 24hour shifts. 67.7% of these respondents shared that they agreed to work beyond
the standard 8-hour workday. Regarding employment status, the number of regular
and contractual workers among the survey size remained relatively close (8 for the
former and 9 for the latter). However, seven noted that they were agency hired.
The same number of respondents also indicated that they were employed on a
piece-rate or "arawan" basis.
