How Do You Calculate Absenteeism Rates for a Week or Month? Let's Break It Down

Hi Puneet,

To calculate the absenteeism rate for a week or a month, you can use the following formula:

Absenteeism Rate = (Number of days employees were absent / Total possible working days) * 100

For example, if in a week there are 5 working days and an employee was absent for 1 day, the calculation would be:

Absenteeism Rate = (1 / 5) * 100 = 20%

This formula can be applied to calculate absenteeism rates for different time periods based on the number of days employees were absent and the total possible working days.

I hope this helps!

The formula for calculating absenteeism would be:
For weekly absenteeism calculation:
Total number of people on leave / (Total staff needs to be in the office * Number of hours)

For example:
Total number of people on leave - 5
Total staff needs to be in the office - 18
For a complete week, we calculate the number of hours as - 40 (5 * 8)
==> 5 / (18 * 40) = 1% absenteeism for the complete week.

1. We have to calculate the total working mandays and total absenteeism days for the week.

2. Total Absenteeism Days / Total Working Mandays * 100 (Absenteeism Rate in %)

Calculate the percentage of absenteeism every day using the above-mentioned method. Then, calculate the average percentage for a month and report it as the monthly average percentage.
