2.1. Data description | |||
Job vacancy statistics (JVS) provide information on the level and structure of labour demand. The country transmits to Eurostat the quarterly data on the number of job vacancies and the number of occupied posts as well as provides the quality report under the JVS framework regulation and the two implementing regulations: the implementing regulation on the definition of a job vacancy, the reference dates for data collection, data transmission specifications and feasibility studies, as well as the implementing regulation on seasonal adjustment procedures and quality reports. |
|||
2.2. Classification system | |||
The quarterly data are broken down by economic activity (at section level) in accordance with NACE Rev. 2 - Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community. |
|||
2.3. Coverage - sector | |||
All economic activities defined by NACE Rev. 2, except the activities of households as employers and the activities of extraterritorial organisations and bodies. |
|||
2.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
Job vacancy In accordance with the CSB methodology, job vacancy is defined as a new or existing salaried post which is vacant or will be vacant in the nearest time and employer is taking active steps to find a suitable employee outside own enterprise and the post may be filled immediately or within the nearest time. Occupied post Occupied post is a paid post to which the employee has been assigned. The number of occupied posts comprises both full time and part time employees, for which accounts of working time must be kept according to the Labour Law, as well as those employees who do not have a working time record. Job vacancy rate Share of job vacancies in the total number of jobs. The total number of jobs is the sum of occupied jobs and job vacancies. |

2.6. Statistical population | |||

|||
2.7. Reference area | |||

|||
2.8. Coverage - Time | |||
Data for the aggregated NACE sections B-S is available from 2005; data for the other individual and aggregated NACE sections from 2008. At the end of 2015 the improvements in job vacancies data collection process were introduced resulting the break in time series. In order to ensure comparability of data over time, the time series at the level of sections (letters) of Statistical Classification of Economic Activities NACE rev. 2 have been recalculated up to the 4th quarter of 2015. Data by NACE divisions (2-digits), sector, region and major occupational group was not recalculated and is not comparable prior the 1st quarter of 2016. |

4.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Quality of statistics is assessed in accordance with the existing requirements of external and internal regulatory enactments and in accordance with the established quality criteria. Regulation (EC) no 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European statistics states that European Statistics European statistics shall be developed, produced and disseminated on the basis of uniform standards and of harmonised methods. In this respect, the following quality criteria shall apply: relevance, accuracy, timeliness, punctuality, accessibility, clarity, comparability and coherence. CSB has introduced Quality Management System (QMS). The system is directed towards providing high user satisfaction and ensuring compliance with regulatory enactments. Based on the structure of Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM), QMS defines and at the level of procedures describes processes of statistical production as well as sets the persons responsible for the monitoring of processes at all stages of the statistical production. QMS defines the sequence how processes are implemented (i.e., activities to be performed (incl. verifications of processes and statistics, sequence and implementation requirements thereof, as well as persons responsible for the implementation)), procedures used in the evaluation of processes and statistics, as well as any improvements needed. Since 2018, QMS of the CSB has been certified by the standard ISO 9001:2015 “Quality Management Systems. Requirements” (certified scope: Production of official statistics – planning, development, data acquisition, processing, analysis and dissemination). |

Revision Policy is an important component of good governance practice addressed more and more often in the international statistical society. The objective of the Revision Policy is to lay down the order of review or revision of the prepared and published data. The first chapter of the present document explains the terms applied in the Revision Policy, the second chapter shortly characterises the CSB Revision Policy, whereas the third chapter stipulates the revision cycle of the statistical data produced by the CSB. Revision Policy is now being updated. |
