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 entitlement and per limit: the protected-leave entitlement and its eligibility test, the sick-pay rate and duration, the notice and evidence an employer may demand, and the point at which absence may lawfully end employment, quoted verbatim with its effective date; the derivation is the constraint map laid over the policy corpus - which of the published point systems would count a protected absence, and how the same absence is treated in each jurisdiction - which neither the regulators nor the employers publish", "embed": "
