How to Read Your Results
Absence rate shows the share of scheduled workdays missed in the selected review period.
Attendance rate is the remaining share of scheduled workdays attended.
Average absence duration describes the typical length of recorded absence spells in that period.
Annualised absence days and occasions are projections, not predictions.
Compare employees only with care because working patterns, review periods, and recording practices can differ.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- All examples count only scheduled workdays missed through absence.
- Absence occasions are separate spells recorded within the same review period.
- Annualised results use the annual scheduled workday total provided in each example.
- Values are illustrative administrative estimates, not employment or wellbeing assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can a one-month annualised absence figure look high?
A short period gives a single absence event more weight when it is scaled to a full year.
Does a part-time employee need a different formula?
No. The same formulas apply when their actual scheduled workdays are used.
Can two employees have the same absence rate but different absence patterns?
Yes. One may have one long absence spell while another has several shorter spells.
What should be used as the review period?
Use a consistent period for scheduled workdays, absence days, and absence occasions.
