Compliance
Employment compliance, country by country
Statutory guides for employers running payroll and HR at home — not for companies hiring in from abroad. Pick your country for annual leave, sick pay, working time and the deadlines that come with them, with every claim linked to the statute or agency page it came from.

How these guides are written
Why you can act on these numbers
Primary source at the point of the claim.
Every number, threshold and deadline links to the statute or agency page it comes from — Finlex, Riksdagen, Lovdata, legislation.gov.uk — inline where you read it, not in a bibliography at the bottom.
A date you can check.
Guides carry a last-reviewed date once someone here has verified them against the source. No date means not yet verified, rather than a date pretending otherwise.
Written in the law's own terms.
Feriepenger, not "holiday money". Semesterlagen, not "the Swedish leave act". The local term is the one your accountant, your union and the agency all use.
