Source data
The Survey on Labour Activity and Conditions of Employment, conducted quarterly by
the Research, Study and Statistics Directorate (Dares) among establishments with 10
or more employees in the commercial, private and semi-public sectors, services to
private individuals, public administrations, hospitals, non-market education and social
action governed by the law of 1901, and giving information on wages and salaries and
working time.
The quarterly survey, the main one, provides, among other results, indices of changes
in the constant structure of the basic salary. These indices are widely used by forecasters
and companies for indexing contracts and calculating the revaluation of the Smic each
year on July 1. There is also an annual "Smic" survey conducted in July that estimates
the proportion of employees paid at this rate.
