Absenteeism refers to unauthorized absence of the worker from his job. Absenteeism can be defined as failure of employees to report for work when they are scheduled to work. Employees who are away from work on recognized holidays, vacations, approved leaves of absence, or leaves of absence allowed for
under the collective agreement provisions would not be included .
In India, the problem of absenteeism is greater than other countries. When the employee takes time off, on a scheduled working day with permission, it is authorized absence. When he remains absent without permission or informing, it
is wilful absence without leave.
In these days, when the needs of the country require greater emphasis
upon increase of productivity and the economic and rational utilization of time and
materials at our disposal, it is necessary to minimize absenteeism to the maximum
possible extent.
Recent surveys indicate the following trends in absenteeism:
1. The higher the rate of pay and the greater the length of service of the employee, the fewer the absences.
2. As an organization grows, there is a tendency towards higher rates of absenteeism.
3. Women are absent more frequently than men.
4. Single employees are absent more frequently than married employees.
5. Younger employees are absent more frequently than older employees but the latter are absent for longer periods of time.
6. Unionized organizations have higher absenteeism rates than non-union
organizations.
