Employee absenteeism is a significant source of concern and expense for businesses both large and small. Workplace absences have been estimated by the Centers for Disease Control to cost businesses in the US $225.8 billion annually.
Another study found that costs due to unscheduled absences by hourly employees averaged $3,600 annually per employee.
