Absenteeism rate = total absent days ÷ total possible working days × 100, where possible working days = employees × scheduled working days. Example: 100 staff × 26 days = 2,600 possible days; with 120 absent days the rate is 120 ÷ 2,600 × 100 = 4.6%.

## Inputs

## Frequently asked questions

### What counts as absence?

Unplanned absence such as unapproved leave, sick days and no-shows. Approved earned leave and holidays are usually left out so the rate reflects unplanned absence.

### How do I track absenteeism without a register?

Use an attendance system that records every punch. Staff Khata marks present and absent automatically from each punch, so the rate comes straight from the attendance report.
