Absence and the Bradford Factor

We have been trailing using the Bradford Factor for calculating staff absence/attendance for the last academic year.

This is calculated as: Number of occasions x number of occasions x number of days lost over a rolling 12 months.

At times the BF can skew figures.

Do others working in Education use this system and how do they and staff find it?

    I personally don't like the Bradford Factor calculation. At the end of the day the absence is what it is - the BFC just inflates the absence unnecessarily.
