Notes:
The percentage rate of an EMPLOYEE's absence in an ORGANISATION during the REPORTING PERIOD.
To calculate this percentage both the EMPLOYEE ABSENCE WORKING HOURS LOST (REPORTING PERIOD) and the EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORKING HOURS (REPORTING PERIOD) should first be calculated.
The EMPLOYEE ABSENCE RATE (REPORTING PERIOD) percentage is calculated as follows:
| (EMPLOYEE ABSENCE WORKING HOURS LOST (REPORTING PERIOD) / EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORKING HOURS (REPORTING PERIOD)) * 100 |
Where the standard working week for the EMPLOYEE is expressed in EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORKING SESSIONS per week an assumed value of 3.5 hours per session should be used to convert sessions into working hours.
