The minimums a job's law sets in each of the 41 spine countries: paid annual leave in days with its basis (working or calendar, never converted), the minimum notice an employer and an employee must give in weeks (noticeNote where it rises with tenure), the probation ceiling in months and the ordinary weekly-hours ceiling — a hand-curated register with the labour authority's page and check date per row, added 13 Sep 2026; an entry read from secondary reporting because the official page could not be fetched is marked confidence: "secondary". A fact the law does not set is ABSENT, never zero (the US sets no paid leave, notice or hours ceiling); federal countries carry the federal floor. country for one entry, countries for a side-by-side; without either, ranks by metric (minAnnualLeaveDays default, noticeEmployerMinWeeks, probationMaxMonths, maxWeeklyHours), most first unless sort=fewest, with the countries that set no figure in excluded. Statutory floors only — contracts and collective agreements usually give more. For information only — not legal advice; every response says so first.
