Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
3 of the 11 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 8 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per jurisdiction per contract type (permanent, fixed term, casual or zero hours, agency) carrying what the written statement must contain, when it is due, the statutory floor the contract cannot undercut (5.6 weeks' holiday and the 12.07% accrual in GB, the eleven National Employment Standards and the 38-hour week in AU, the Canada Labour Code Part III standards, the FLSA in the US) and the notice table; the figure is the comparison - which of the four jurisdictions requires a written contract at all on day one, and what each one gives a zero-hours or casual worker that the contract cannot take away
8 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
