Que tipo de coisas é que avalia este índice? Não estou a ver como é que os US podem estar no topo de uma lista relacionada com direitos laborais. Sendo um país no qual muita gente não tem sequer direito a dias de férias pagos
> The Employment Flexibility Index measures indicators for regulating hiring, working hours, redundancy rules
and costs. Based on the values of these indicators, a qualitative comparative analysis of labor relations of EU
and OECD Member States is carried out. The higher the value of the Employment Flexibility Index, the more
flexible the employment regulation in a particular country is
> The US, Japan, and New Zealand rank highest in the Employment Flexibility Index 2020, which means that the
employment regulation of these countries is the most flexible of all EU and OECD countries. These countries
have the highest rating due to the following circumstances:
>- fixed-term contracts are allowed for jobs of permanent nature;
– the law does not specify the maximum duration of a fixed-term employment contract (including the number and duration of renewal);
– the law does not set minimum wage;
– the law does not impose restrictions on night work, the law does not restrict overtime and the day off
(except in Japan, where the law restricts overtime);
– laws do not impose strict rules, costs, or restrictions on redundancies;
– there is no statutory obligation on employers to inform third parties when a worker or a group of employees
is about to be dismissed, nor is it required to obtain the consent of a third party for dismissals;
– the law does not impose an obligation on the employer to retrain the employee before dismissal;
– there are no statutory regulations of priority (preference) rules in redundancy cases.
