Absenteeism Policy

What is Absenteeism Policy?

A set of rules and processes called an absenteeism policy is intended to lower the number of days employees miss work. The acceptable reasons why an employee might miss work, such as illness, injury, or scheduled time off, may be outlined in the employee attendance policy and process. The absenteeism policy also outlines what to do if a worker misses too many work days over what is permitted. The ideal policy will motivate staff to reduce absences while still being fair and considering the realities of illness, vacations, doctor visits, and other events.
