The rigidity of hours index has 5 components: (i) whether night work is unrestricted; (ii) whether weekend work is unrestricted; (iii) whether the work week can consist of 5.5 days; (iv) whether the workweek can extend to 50 hours or more (including overtime) for 2 months a year to respond to a seasonal increase in production; and (v) whether paid annual vacation is 21 working days or fewer. For each of these questions, if the answer is no, the economy is assigned a score of 1; otherwise a score of 0 is assigned. For example, the Czech Republic imposes restrictions on night work (a score of 1) and weekend work (a score of 1), allows 6 day workweeks (a score of 0), permits 50 hour workweeks for 2 months (a score of 0) and requires paid vacation of 20 working days (a score of 0).
