Q: Is the employer component data accessible?

A: For confidentiality reasons we do not make employer data available for research.  Given the small size of the employer pool in Ireland (particularly when it comes to large employers) it would not be possible to ensure respondent confidentiality.

 

Q: I can't find an employer identification variable in the employee database. Is there a way that I can identify which employees belong to a same organisation?

A: There is no employer identifier in the employee database.  The employees were selected at random, not clustered at the level of employer.
