FLORES Etablissements : Local wage and employment register - Establishments - 2017

---

Data description

Flores makes it possible to describe paid employment across all industries and employers. The variables describe the number of employees and gross earnings for year N and year N-1, making it possible to calculate changes over one year.

The final product includes 5 files :

- the "companies" file, in which each row represents a legal unit identified by a Siren number ;

- the "establishment" file, in which each row represents an establishment (local unit of a company) identified by a Siret number;

- the "job count" file, in which each row corresponds to a cross-reference between an establishment and various characteristics of the jobs and/or the persons occupying them (gender, socio-professional category, etc.);

- the "TOP 20" file, which groups together establishments with more than 20 employees, for the purpose of distributing lists of establishments by the regional directorates;

- the "flow of employees" file, in which each row represents a grouped transfer of employees between two establishments

Sector coverage

Flores covers all industries, with the exception of the activities of the Ministry of the Armed Forces.

Statistical concepts and definitions

Flores is used to measure :

- the number of employees at the end of the year, i.e. the number of salaried positions in the last week of December. A salaried position is defined as the intersection between an employee and a workplace establishment. The same person can therefore occupy several positions in several establishments, either successively during the year (change of job) or simultaneously (multi-activity);

- the number of employees in full-time equivalent (FTE). The calculation of FTE takes into account the ratio of full-time/part-time work: full-time jobs count directly for the number of days in the year, without taking into account the number of hours worked; for part-time jobs, the number of hours worked is divided by an annual hourly reference, based on the median of full-time jobs present all year round in the sector and social category of the job in question;

- gross earnings. They correspond to all employee wages and bonuses paid during the financial year.

Statistical unit

Flores presents results at the level of enterprises (legal units) and establishments (local units), as well as at the sub-establishment level for certain cross-tabulations of individual characteristics (gender, socio-professional category, etc.).

Statistical population

Flores covers all employers (public service, private employers, including individual employers), with the exception of the activities of the Ministry of the Armed Forces.

Comparability - geographical

The data sources used and processing are homogeneous throughout the geographical area (France excluding Mayotte).

Comparability - over time and CC2. Length of comparable time series for U

Each Flores file presents two years N-1 and N whose comparability is guaranteed (homogeneous sources and methodology). On the other hand, comparability between two years from two different vintages is not guaranteed. Indeed, changes in the source data used or improvements in their statistical treatment may occur between the different vintages and disturb the comparability of the data. As a result of these changes, the data for year N-1 are generally not identical to those for year N of the previous vintage.

Source data

Flores is built from the "All employees" file. The "All employees" file itself is the result of a synthesis of administrative sources: personal social declarations (DSN), annual social data declarations (DADS), payroll files specific to the State and declarations specific to individual employers.

Flores is therefore a "secondary" statistical source, derived from a first statistical file and not directly from administrative declarations.

Data compilation

The number of salaried positions at the end of the year, in full-time equivalent and the gross remuneration by establishment are obtained by aggregating the information contained in the "All employees" file. Geographical and sectoral location information is taken from the Statistical business register (Sirus) and the Business Register Identification System (Sirene) when available, and from the "All employees" file otherwise.

Additional processing is applied to improve the quality of the location (geographical and sectoral) of paid employment.
