Understanding Man-Days Lost: How Do Indian Standards Measure Employee Absences?

Calculating Man-Days Lost According to Indian Standards

To calculate man-days lost for a year and the same for six months according to Indian standards, you would typically take the total number of working days in a year or six months and subtract from it the number of days each employee was absent from work.

The formula would be:
Man-days lost = Total working days - (Number of employees × Number of days absent)

This calculation helps organizations understand the impact of employee absences on productivity and overall work performance. It is essential for tracking and managing workforce efficiency and planning for contingencies.

If you need further assistance or clarification on this calculation method, feel free to ask for more details.
