Law imposes procedural constraints on dismissal

This CBR-LRI indicator measures to what extent failure to follow procedural requirements constitute an unjust dismissal.

Coding rules

The CBR-LRI is a leximetric dataset on employment protection. It quantifies the strength of protection expressed in labour law and functional equivalents such as administrative regulation and collective agreements (see Adams et al. 2017). The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds an absense of procedural requirements and "1" to dismissals being necessarily being unjust if employers fails to follow procedural requirements, and gradations between the two values reflect gradtions in the strength of law. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).
