Absence alerts

What Absence alerts mean and what it is

Background

Two thirds of all long-term sick leaves are preceded by repeated short-term absence. 67% percent of those who go on a longer sick leave have had at least 3 short-term absences within the last 12 months. 

What does this mean?

Employees with repeated short-term absence will either continue this pattern, or risk ending up in a longer sick leave. Simployer One has chosen to define repeated short-term absence as more than 3 sick leaves during a 12-month period, since this makes it possible to intervene before it is too late.

How Simployer helps you with this

Once someone is detected as at risk of longer sick leave the person gets added to the list of people in Absence Alerts. 

Managers only see people reporting to them, Admins and Owners sees anyone at risk.

What the numbers in Simployer One says

If you register a sick leave equal or less than 14 days in length, this is picked up by the algorithm. Registering a sick leave on one day and then the next will count as 1 occurrence but as 2 days. In Simployer this would read "1 sick leave (2 days)".

The number in parentheses uses calendar days (not working days) since this best reflects the actual situation.

Marking something as Resolved

Marking an Absence Alert as Resolved (Can only be done by Admins & Owners) will reset the numbers and a new alert won't be triggered unless new sick leaves are registered and fulfill the criteria for an Alert.

Note: Removing & re-adding or editing a sick leave might give a false positive so make sure you check your Absence Alerts if you edit a large number of sick leaves.
