Default Employment Status Classification Rules — get_default_status

Returns the default classification rules used by vecshift for employment status. These rules include flexible prior value mappings and support sequence-based overlap labeling. The rules can be modified to implement custom business logic.

Usage

get_default_status_rules()

Value

List with default classification rules containing:

unemployment: Rules for unemployment periods with duration thresholds
prior_labels: Named list mapping prior values to employment type labels
single_employment: Rules for single employment periods
overlapping_employment: Rules for overlapping employment periods

Details

The default rules include:

**Prior Labels Mapping**: Maps numeric prior values to employment type labels: * "-1", "0" -> "pt" (part-time) * "1" -> "ft" (full-time) * "2" -> "fixed" (fixed-term contract) * "3" -> "temp" (temporary contract)

**Unemployment Classification**: Based on duration thresholds (8 days default)

**Single Employment**: Creates labels like "occ_ft", "occ_pt", "occ_fixed"

**Overlapping Employment**: Uses sequence-based labeling to create labels like "over_pt_ft_fixed" based on the chronological sequence of employment types within the overlapping period.
