abstract
Employee absenteeism is a major problem for almost all employers. And it is a costly problem. Absenteeism is one of the most serious problems facing employers in today’s workplace. Legitimate illnesses still account for the majority of absences, but more employees are using sick days for non-health-related reasons. But this is making a huge difference in the productivity of the company as well linked with problems to the employer. Most employers recognize that in order to keep their employees happy, and therefore productive, they cannot expect them to work tirelessly without a break. That is why the vast majority of employers give their employees time off to take care of personal business, stay home from work when they are sick, or enjoy periods of rest and relaxation.
