Dear Divya,
We need clarification about your post. In the heading you have written about absenteeism of the employees. Generally, the word "absenteeism" is associated with the unauthorised absence. On the contrary, in the main body of your post you have written that "on an average min.25 guys are on leave each day". But then leave is authorised absence. What is wrong if the employees take leave as per the procedure? Absence on account of leave, duly authorised by seniors should be always acceptable. Going further, leave is a legal provision for the employees. If one person out of 10 is on leave then nothing wrong
per se.
You should get alarmed only if the absence is unauthorised one. It really upsets the apple cart of the operations. Because of someone's unauthorised absence, leave of someone who is in dire need does not get sanctioned. To attend the pressing domestic or personal commitments, that person also absents. This further aggravates the problem.
Therefore, you need to do the analysis of the absenteeism of the workers. Earlier, I have given exhaustive reply on the subject. Click the following link to refer it:

Calculation of Authorised Absence: - You have 250 employees. For every 20 working days, worker is authorised to get a day's leave. Therefore, each worker is authorised to get 15 days earned leave per annum. There are 52 Sundays and 10 closed holidays per year. If you deduct these days, it leaves out 303 working days per year. Therefore, per day authorised absence could be for (250 x 15)/303 = 3,750/303 = 12.37 employees. Therefore, even if 12-13 workers are on authorised leave per day, it should not bother you. However, your average absenteeism per day is 25. Therefore, 12-13 workers are on unauthorised absence per day. Going further, workers could be going on leave depending on requirement. During summer vacation and festival times, more number of people ask for leave. In contrast, other months are laid back.
Hidden challenge: - There could be hidden challenge in your post. Your company's operations must have been planned based on the authorised and unauthorised absence that generally takes place per day (which is 25 per day). What if on some day, there are fewer absentees, say only 5? On that day, do you have surplus manpower? If yes, then how these people are utilised? Is there under-utilisation because of excess manpower at hand? Is some unwanted work created just to fill their time? You need to check on this count also.
