Step 3:
Now, the selected addresses are screened in order to find out if they are single-site
organisations or part of a multi-site unit:
MM050 (=MM100 in countries without screener)
May I first of all check: Is the establishment at this address a single independent company or
organization with no further branch-offices, production units or sales units elsewhere in {country}?
Or is it one of a number of establishments at different locations in {country} belonging to the same
company or organization?
A single independent company or organization ...................................................... ( 1 ) go to MM102
One of a number of different establishments .......................................................... ( 2 )
## No answer .......................................................................................................... ( 3 ) go to MM102
If the contacted address refers to a single-site company (answer-code (1)), the interview is
immediately filtered to MM102 ff., i.e. the main-interview then starts without any further
differences to the standard-procedure.
Step 4:
Yet, in all multi-site enterprises the respondent is now asked for the number of employees
working in the company in total, i.e. in all sites in the respective country (MM050a). This
information is needed for filtering out companies with actually less than 10 employees.
Step 5:
The next step is to ask the respondents about the number of establishments (including the
headquarters) with 10 or more employees belonging to the company (MM051). If none of the
company’s establishments surpasses this size-threshold or if the respondent refuses to
answer this question, the screening is ended at this stage and the respective reason of nonresponse
is entered.
Wherever there is only one establishment within the required size-range (10+ employees), the
interviewer asks for the name and address of the Human Resources manager within this
establishment and enters this information in the screen (MM053a). If the only establishment
with 10 or more employees is the one the interviewer is already connected with, the questions
of the main interview now immediately follow (provided that the respondent is already the
responsible Human Resources manager and not e.g. somebody at the switchboard).
Step 6:
In all other cases, i.e. in all companies with several establishments larger than 9 employees,
additionally a question about the distribution of these establishments among the defined sizeclasses
is asked:
