Rigidity of hours index
The rigidity of hours index has 5 components: whether
there are restrictions on night work; whether there are
restrictions on weekly holiday work; whether the
workweek can consist of 5.5 days or is more than 6
days; whether the workweek can extend to 50 hours or
more (including overtime) for 2 months a year to
respond to a seasonal increase in production; and
whether the average paid annual leave for a worker
with 1 year of tenure, a worker with 5 years and a
worker with 10 years is more than 26 working days or
fewer than 15 working days.
