    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a healthy absenteeism rate?

    Rates around 1 to 3 percent are common; persistently higher rates can signal engagement, health, or workload problems.

    Should planned leave count as absenteeism?

    No. Absenteeism typically measures unplanned absence, so approved leave and holidays are usually excluded.
