This CBR-LRI indicator measures the amount of redundancy compensation payable to a worker made redundant after 3 years of employment, measured in weeks of pay.
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 of the indicator was normalised so that "0" corresponds to 0 weeks and "1" to 12 weeks. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).
