EXAMPLE: 1 ST YEAR TURNOVER RATE
Calculate the 1st year Voluntary turnover rate, 1st year Involuntary turnover rate & Overall 1st year
Turnover Rate if:
20 employees resigned, 2 passed away (died) and 3 were dismissed of the total 200 employees that
were hired within 1 year.
1st Year Voluntary Turnover Rate = (20 Resignations 200 new hires)*100 = 10%
1st Year Involuntary Turnover Rate = ((2 Deaths + 3 Dismissals) 200 new hires)*100 = 3%
