Absenteeism Survey Issue - HR Ideas & Trends, 2004 Issue

The 14th annual CCH Unscheduled Absence Survey is the only survey that provides American business with a clear look at the rate of unscheduled absences, as well as the financial impact of no-shows on companies nationwide. The 2004 survey covers why employees are missing work at the last-minute, what it means to the bottomline for employers, and what programs and policies companies are using to address the problem. The survey also includes profiles of best practices and innovative programs employers are offering to help their employees - and their companies - effectively manage this problem.

Findings from the 2004 survey include:

• 39 percent of employers surveyed report presenteeism is a problem in their organization.
• 52 percent of companies with poor or fair morale reporting that presenteeism is a problem.
• Disciplinary action is used by 91 percent of organizations surveyed.
• The average dollars spent annually for unscheduled absences ranges from $43,000 for the smallest organizations to more than $1 million for larger companies.
• The number of employers allowing employees to carry over sick time from one year to the next has dropped from 51 percent in 2000 to 37 percent in 2004.
• 63 percent of employers offer a paid leave bank, also known as paid time off (PTO), under which personal, vacation and sick days are combined into a single bank of days that the employee can use in any way he or she needs.
• The CCH Unscheduled Absence Survey contains detailed findings including additional press releases and charts depicting survey data.
