History of employment status NIOSH

Hx employment status NIOSH

Definition

  • Current and historical data related to an individual's employment status. Generally, employment status refers to whether or not a person has a job. In a healthcare setting, employment status may be used to determine appropriate probing questions for occupational exposures and occupational history. For example, someone who is unemployed or has chosen not to work may be prompted to provide information about previous jobs. Employment status is not the same as compensation and sector employment type [LOINC: 85104-8].
