AbsenteeismAn
Introduction
8/7/2019 Lalit Project
20/66
2.1 INTRODUCTION TO RESERCH TOPIC
Some Definitions of Absenteeism:
- Absenteeism is a practice or a habit of being an absence and an absentee is
one who habitually stays away- WEBSTERS DICTIONARY
- Absenteeism is the failure of a worker to report for work when he isscheduled to work.
- LABOUR BUREAU SIMLA
Meaning:
Employees presence at the work place during the schedule time is highly essential for the smooth running of the production process in particular and the organization ingeneral. Despite the significance of presence, employees sometime fail to report to thework place during the scheduled time, which is known as Absenteeism.
According to PICOARS AND MAYERS: Unexpected absence disturbs the efficiency of the group as the jobs are inter connected, if one single man remains absent without prior notice the whole operation process is distributed. This Absenteeism results in productionlosses because, due to Absenteeism, workers cost increases and thus efficiency of operations is affected.
2.2 Features of Absenteeism:
Research Studies undertaken by different authors reveal the following features of Absenteeism
The rate of Absenteeism is the lowest on pay day; it increases considerably on thedays following the payment of wages and bonus
Absenteeism is generally high among the workers below 25 years of age andthose above 40 years of age.
The rate of Absenteeism varies from department to department within anorganization.
Absenteeism in traditional industries is seasonal in character

8/7/2019 Lalit Project
21/66
2.3 Types of Absenteeism
Absenteeism is of four types viz.
1 . Authorized Absenteeism.
2. Unauthorized Absenteeism.
3. Willful Absenteeism.
4. Absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond ones control.
1) Authorized Absenteeism
If an employee absents himself from work by taking permission from superior and applying for leave, such Absenteeism is called authorized Absenteeism.
2) Unauthorized Absenteeism
If any employee absents himself from work without informing or taking permission and without applying for leave, such absenteeism is calledUnauthorized Absenteeism.
3) Willful Absenteeism
If any employee absents himself from duty willfully, such Absenteeism is calledWillful Absenteeism
4) Absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond ones control
If any employee absent himself from duty owing to the circumstances beyondhis control like involvement in accidents (or) sudden sickness, such absenteeismis called Absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond ones control.
2.5 Calculations of Absenteeism rate:
Absenteeism can be calculated with the help of the following formula.
Absenteeism rate = No of Mondays lost x 1 00
No of Mondays scheduled to work
Absenteeism rate can be calculated for different employees and for different time periods like month & year.
1 3
8/7/2019 Lalit Project
22/66
Frequency rate
The frequency rate reflects the incidence of absence and is usually expressed as the no of separate absence in a given period, irrespective of absence. The frequency rate represents
the average no of absence per worker in a given period.
Frequency rate = the no of times in which the leave was availed X 1 00
Total no of Mondays schedules to work
Severity rate:
Severity rate is the average length of time lost per absence and is calculated by using thefollowing.
Severity rate = Total no of days absent during a period X1
00
Total no of times absent during that period
A high severity rate indicates that the employee is absent for longer duration each time.High frequency and severity rates indicates that the employee is absent more frequentlyand for longer durations each time resulting in high Absenteeism even in absolute terms.
2.6 Causes of Absenteeism
The following are the general causes of the Absenteeism
1. Maladjustment with the working conditions:
If the working conditions of the company are poor, the workers cannot adjustthemselves with the companys working conditions. Then they prefer to stay awayfrom the company.
2. Social and religious ceremonies:
Social & religious functions divert the workers attention from the work.
3. Unsatisfactory housing
Conditions at the working place
4. Industrial housing
The industrial fugue compels workers to remain outside the work place.
8/7/2019 Lalit Project
23/66
5. Unhealthy working conditions
The poor and intolerable working conditions in the factories irritate the workingexcess heat, noise, either too much or too low lighting, poor ventilation, dust, smokecause poor health of the workers. This factory causes the workers to be absent.
6. Poor welfare facilities
Though a no of legislation concerning welfare facilities are enacted, many organizationsfail to provide welfare facilities. This is either due to the poor financial position of thecompanies (or) due to the exploitative attitude of the employs. The welfare facilitiesincludes poor sanitation, washing, bathing first aid appliances, ambulance, restroomsdrinking water, canteen, shelter, crches etc.. The dissatisfied worker with these facilities
prefers to be away from the workplace.
7. Alcoholism
Workers mostly prefer to spend money on the consumption of liquor and enjoymentafter getting the wages. Therefore, the rate of absenteeism is more during the first week every month
8. Indebtness
The low level wages and unplanned expenditure of the workers force then to borrowheavily. The research studies indicate that workers borrow more than 1 0 times of their net pay. Consequently workers fail to repay the money. Then they try to escape the
place in order to avoid the money lenders. This leads to absenteeism.
9. Maladjustment with job demands
The fast enhancing technology demand higher level skills from the workers fail to meetthese demands due to their lower level education and/or absenteeism of training.
10. Unsound personnel policies
The improper and unrealistic personnel policies result in employee dissatisfaction. Thedissatisfied employee in tune prefers to be away from the work
11. Inadequate leave facilities
The inadequate leave facilities provided by the employer forces him to depend on ESIleave which allows the workers to be away from the work for 56 days in a year on half
pay.

Measures to minimize Absenteeism
Absenteeism affects the organization from multiple angles. It severely affects the production process and the business process. The effect of unauthorized absenteeism ismore compared other types of absenteeism. However, it would be difficult to completely

1.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Theoretical background of the Topic:
Absenteeism has been variously defined by the Authorities from time to time.
Thus the term Absenteeism refers to the workers absence from his regular task, when heis scheduled to work. Any employees stay away from work if he has taken leave to whichhe is entitled or on the grounds of sickness or some accident without any previoussanction of leave.
Nevertheless usually, involuntary lay off, lack of work, authorized leave or vacation period of work stoppage are not counted as absence. Strikes, lock outs and lateattendance are treated as absence.

8/7/2019 Lalit Project

1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Study of Absenteeism among Industrial Worker is not only from view point of butit is important from the view point of moral of employees. Even though the effect of thegood morale of employees, may not be calculated in terms of costs, but it should be saidthat, it is important than cost.
There is a clear relationship between high absenteeism and employees moral, because it can easily traced that these department having high rate of absenteeism havelow moral.
There is a clear relationship between employees attitude & absenteeism. They arerelated to each other. So employees attitude & morale are the important factors. Laborsis Human Factor, therefore consideration shall also be taken into account in thediscussion of problem connected in the absenteeism has been continuous to be one of themajor labors problem in Indian Industries.
As No work No pay is usually the general rule, the loss to workers absenteeismis quite obvious when the workers fail to attend to the regular work, there income isreduced and the workers become still poorer. Hence, Health and efficiency of the worker is affected by the irregularity of the workers attendance.
The loss of employees and industry is due to absenteeism is still greater and bothefficiency and discipline suffer the maintenance of additional workers leads to seriousimplications.
Thus the above discussions show how the problem of absenteeism is veryimportant to the organization. So, I have selected this problem of study.
