A STUDY ON ABSENTEEISM OF EMPLOYEES IN

“A.M SHOES”

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The management of workplace attendance is an important aspect of supervision in the workplace.

The cost of absenteeism is greater than the direct payment of wages and benefits paid durance the absence. Organizations must also

consider the indirect costs of staffing, scheduling, re-training, lost productivity, diminished moral, turnover, and opportunity cost. The

indirect costs often exceed the direct cost of absenteeism.

Each occurrence of absence costs the employer an average of $2,500 in both direct and indirect costs (based on 9 days absent out of 250

working days and an average payroll of

$35,000).

Effective supervisory efforts to manage attendance will affect a relatively small percentage of employees, but will result in substantial

savings, increased productivity and morale.

DEFINITION OF ABSENTEEISM

Absenteeism is the 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 approved leaves of absence would not be included.
