paid work means work for financial gain or reward (whether as an employee, a self-employed person or otherwise).
paid work at this question means ANY work for pay or profit done in the reference week. It is to be included, however little time is spent on it, so long as it is paid. For example, it includes Saturday jobs and casual work (e.g. baby-sitting, running a mail order club, etc.). Some respondents may not regard baby-sitting, etc. to be ‘serious’ work. Probe those to whom you feel this may apply (e.g. housewives with dependent children).
