Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings Pensions categories (Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE))
Data Type:Sample survey
1% sample of employee jobs taken from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records. ASHE does not cover the self-employed nor does it cover employees not paid during the reference period. In 2015 information related to the pay period. Sample size: 180,000 employee jobs
Time
The ASHE replaced the New Earnings Survey (NES) which was administered by the ONS since the 1970s.
Dataset Quality
Primary weaknesses identified by ONS include: lack of personal demographic data, timing and periodicity, no coverage of self employed and quality of estimates and low levels of disaggregation can be poor.
Estimates on the levels and distribution of earnings and hours for employees in the UK. Estimates are available for a variety of breakdowns by age groups, gender, industry, and pension type.
