While I do agree with your opinion about employment in France, that index could also be considered an "Employee abuse index", depending on your perspective.

No severance package - yay for flexibility! I'm not saying you should pay a lot, but 1-2 month's salary after 5 years with the company and 3-6 after 10 years shouldn't kill the company and should provide a respite for the just-fired loyal employee. By the way, in your index the country would get a 100/100 when it has no severance package.

No extra payment for overtime - again, this seems like abuse. This would be 100/100 in your index but I don't really see how it can be justified. Same with the time restrictions for overtime.

Paid annual leave - ...

It's one thing to be overbearing and another to offer decent social support to employees (I find France overbearing).
