Sickness absence, % of days lost (264) Metric type
- Description
- The total number of working days lost due to sickness absence, including industrial injury, irrespective of whether this is self-certified, certified by a GP or long-term. This is defined as the total number of working days lost due to sickness absence, including industrial injury, irrespective of whether this is self-certified, certified by a GP or long-term. For part-time staff, the authority should calculate the FTE. Include all permanent local authority employees, staff employed in schools and staff employed in DLOs and DSOs. Exclude teachers, agency staff and staff on maternity or paternity leave. However, temporary staff and staff on fixed term contracts who have been employed by the authority for over a year should be considered permanent.
- Help text
- Sickness rate is calculated by dividing the total number of days of absences by the total days contracted to be worked and multiplied by 100. NB sickness rate can be calculated by supplementing days of absence and total contracted days by hours of absence and total contracted hours. The calculation should include all staff (including school based support staff), but exclude teachers and all staff in fire services. It should be calculated for the financial year (beginning on the 1 April and ending on the 31 March).
