The latest annual survey1 of sickness absence published by the Chartered Institute for Personnel and
Development (CIPD) suggests that the average level of employee sick leave
increased slightly to 3.7% of available working time in 2007, taking the
headline figure back to its 2005 level, following its lowest ever rate of 3.5%
last year.
Manual workers continue to have higher average
annual absence levels than their non-manual colleagues - at 4.3% and 2.7%
respectively. |
