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).
8 of the 18 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 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 EUR (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 95 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): the ceiling's bite.
The EUR600 weekly cap has not moved since 1 January 2005; set against the CSO's average weekly earnings by sector and quarter it gives, for every year since it was set, the share of employees whose statutory entitlement is capped and the real (CPI-deflated) value of the cap.
Every authority publishes the cap; none publishes what it is now worth or whom it now binds.
95 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
