How to Calculate Absenteeism Rate

Formula

Absenteeism Rate = (Absent Days / Total Available Workdays) x 100 Total Available Workdays = Number of Employees x Workdays in Period

Absenteeism rate counts only unplanned absences (sick days, no-shows, personal emergencies), not scheduled PTO or holidays. Chronic absenteeism inflates costs through overtime, temporary staffing, and lost productivity. Tracking the rate by department or team helps identify localized issues like burnout or poor management.

Exemplo Resolvido

50 employees accumulated 45 unplanned absence days in a month with 22 workdays.

  1. Total Available Workdays = 50 x 22 = 1,100
  2. Absenteeism Rate = (45 / 1,100) x 100 = 4.09%
  3. Avg Absent Days Per Employee = 45 / 50 = 0.9 days
