INTRODUCTION

According to Labor Bureau of Shimla: - Absenteeism is the total man shifts

lost because of absence as percentage of total number of man shifts scheduled to

work.

In other words, it signifies the absence of an employee from work when he is

scheduled to be at work. Any employee may stay away from work if he has taken

leave to which he is entitled or on ground of sickness or some accident or without

any previous sanction of leave. Thus absence may be authorized or unauthorized,

willful or caused by circumstances beyond ones control.

Maybe even worse than absenteeism, it is obvious that people such as malingerers

and those unwilling to play their part in the workplace can also have a decidedly

negative impact.

Such team members need individual attention from frontline supervisors and

management.

Indeed, as prevention is better than cure, where such a problem occurs, it is always

important to review recruitment procedures to identify how such individuals came

to be employed in the first place.

For any business owner or manager, to cure excessive absenteeism, it is essential to

find and then eliminate the causes of discontent among team members.

If they find their supervisor or job unpleasant - really unpleasant - they look forlegitimate excuses to stay home and find them with things such as upset stomachs

or splitting headaches.

Any effective absentee control program has to locate the causes of discontent and

modify those causes or eliminate them entirely. In other words, if we deal with the

real reasons team members stay home it can become unnecessary for them to stay

away.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A theoretical framework is a conceptual model of how one theorizes or makes

logical sense of the relationships among the several factors that have been

identified as important to the problem. Developing such a conceptual framework

helps us to hypothesize and test certain relationship and thus to improve our

understanding of the dynamics of the situation. In our project the variables that

have been identified as important to the problem are:

MEASUREMENT OF ABSENTEEISM

For calculating the rate of absenteeism we require the number of

people scheduled to work and number of people actually present.

Absenteeism can be find out of absence rate method.

For Example:

a) Average number of employees in work force : 100b) Number of available workdays during period : 20c) Total number of available workdays (a x b) : 2,000d) Total number of lost days due to absences during the period : 93e) Absenteeism percent (d [divided by] c) x 100 : 4.65%

Since absenteeism is a major barometer of employee morale, absenteeism

above 5 percent has to be considered as very serious (across most

industries 3 percent is considered standard).
