What EPLex shows on Severance Pay at 4 Years Tenure
This board sorts 95 countries by severance pay at 4 years tenure from ILO EPLex (scale salary-months, 2025 cycle). EPLex codes the statute as written, notice, severance, trial, and redress rules, so ranks move when the legal text changes, not when survey respondents change their minds. Ranks are unique (alphabetical tie-break), so every country has a distinct slot even when raw values match.
Mean 1.1 months vs median 0.3 months - outliers pull the mean across 95 reporters. Top three: Thailand (6.0 months), Indonesia (5.0 months), Argentina (4.0 months). Bottom three: Venezuela (0.0 months), Uzbekistan (0.0 months), United States (0.0 months). High-low spread is 6.0 months.
Higher EPLex values mean stricter statutory protection, not a better labor market, open a country row for notice schedules, severance ladders, and the same ILO codes behind this rank.
