Employee Absenteeism

Eii operate offer a complete service to clients who have concerns relative to a particular employee or a number of employees who are taking unacceptable lengths of time off work claiming to be sick. The persistent absentee employee costs companies a great deal of money with even some paying an employee off sick his or hers full time salary or part of their employment package.

Our experience is that the client / employer are usually right in their suspicions that a particular individual is believed to be actively engaged in secondary employment on his own account whilst off sick. Most organizations approach to absenteeism achieves temporary improvements at best and are harmful at worst. Many of these policies teach some employees how to play the system so they are always just on this side of termination. Productivity continues to suffer because there aren't enough people to cover the work assignments.

There's no argument that high rates of absenteeism and turnover are the biggest problems that European business faces today, worsened by lower unemployment rates. To make things even more complicated, most companies greatly underestimate the cost of both their absenteeism and turnover. Not only are the direct costs monumental but the indirect and hidden costs can be the difference between profit and loss or being able to maintain the operating budget.
