The measure of the function standard-setting bears a great resemblance with previous employment protection measures as it captures the level of protection. The function refers to active norm-setting that defines general standards of legal protection. As previous measures, it focuses on the two core dimensions of individual employment law that shape the SER: working time restriction and dismissal protection (see Figure 3). The measure solely relies on CBR-LRI indicators, and the operationalisation of the dimensions is almost identical to that of the CBR-LRI dimensions regulation of working time and regulation of dismissal (see Adams, Bishop et al., 2017, pp. 12–15). Looking at the dimension working time, indicators S.1 to S.7 measure standards of protective legislation concerning yearly reproduction times (length of paid annual leave entitlements, S.1; and number of public holidays, S.2), fixed direct limits to daily and weekly working times (maximum daily working times, S.7; duration of normal working week, S.6; and limits to overtime working, S.5), and indirect (monetary incentives in form of premia) limits to overtime work (premia for overtime work, S.3; and premia for weekend work, S.4).
