Annualised Absence Calculation

Molly

Hi, 

Within our business at current we are looking at annualised absence percentages. However we have been trialing different formulas for calculating this and are in limbo about which is best to use going forward. Would anyone be able to advise on the most accurate formulas they have used on calculating annualised absence?

Thanks in advance!

  • As Peter says, no way is "right" in an absolute sense. Where you have people whose hours vary or where you have populations working different durations, then working in %s will neutralise 99% of any calculation problems. %s of what?

    Hours counted as for absenteeism / planned hours worked x100

    Be clear as to what you will include for absenteeism purposes. Obviously holidays will be excluded, but what about territorial army and other absences of this nature. You may also want to do calculations both with and without maternity absence.
    I've also included for each person the number of absence incidents in the year. In one company we excluded long-term absences (2 weeks or more) from one of the calculations because in many cases these absences could be planned for and had little disruptive effect on operational organisation.
