Last Monday, February 7th, was National Sickie Day: the day of the year on which businesses traditionally face the most absenteeism. However, with many employees worried about job security in the current economic climate, the level of absenteeism was thought to have been lower than in previous years.
The first Monday in February is known as National Sickie Day as that’s when there has traditionally been a peak in illness-related absences. Last year, an estimated 350,000 employees were off sick, at a cost to the economy of around £30 million.
However, speaking to HR Magazine prior to this year’s National Sickie Day, John Hayes, an employment partner at Irwin Mitchell, said that as a result of the fragile economy and the jobs market, he expected to see: “fewer people taking time off sick so early on in the year."
