 INTRODUCTION

CONCEPT OF ABSENTEEISM:

“Absenteeism is the practice or habit of being an absentee and an

absentee is one who habitually stays away”.
“Absenteeism is total man shifts lost because of absenteeism is a

percentage of the total number man shifts scheduled to work”. In other

words, it signifies the absence of an employee from work when he is
scheduled to be at work; It is unauthorized, unexplained avoidable and

willful absence form work.

For calculating the rate of absenteeism, two facts are taken into
consideration. The number of persons scheduled to work and the
number actually present. A worker who reports for any part of a shift is

to be considered present. An employee is to be considered scheduled to

work when the employer has work available and the employee is aware of it,
and when the employer has no reason to expect, well in advance, then the

employee will not be available for work at the specialised time. Any
employee may stay away from work if he has taken leave to which he is
entitled, or on the ground of sickness or some accident, or without any

previous sanction of leave. Thus absence may be authorized or

unauthorized, willful or caused by circumstances beyond ones control.

 The phenomenon of absenteeism does not exist only in Indian
industry; it is a universal fact. The difference is only in terms of magnitude.
The rate of absenteeism varies from 7% to nearly 30%, in some

occupations, it has risen to the abnormal level of 40% due to some

reasons. The extent of absenteeism may differ from industry to industry,
place to place and occupation to occupation. It may also differ according

to the make up of the work force. Absenteeism may be extensive in a

particular department of an industry or a concern.
In western industrialized countries absenteeism among younger

workmen is extensive on Mondays after the weekend, particularly among

unmarried men who after a late night on Sunday, perhaps with their girl
friends, find it difficult to get up and come on time and concentrate on
work, and it is lowest on pay day.

In the USA, it has been observed that curiously enough, the extent of
absenteeism is greater among youngsters than among the older employees,
greater among women than men. The young men are generally found to

absent for variety of reasons, including restlessness and a sense of

irresponsibility. In some cases, absenteeism of particular worker is due to
reasons connected with the job, a worker for example, may be absent

because he does not like his job for some reasons, or because he has
unsatisfactory relations with his supervisor or with other employees.
Absenteeism may also be due to sickness, real or feigned.

ABSENTEEISM AMONG THE WORKER’S

MEANING AND DEFINITION OF ABSENTEEISM:

The term absenteeism, for the first time, was define in a circular
of the labour Department, Government of India. It was issued to
provincial government. The circular defined absenteeism rates as the
total man shifts lost because of absence as a percentage of the total
number of man shifts scheduled in other words for calculating the rate
of absenteeism it is first necessary to knew the total number of persons
who are scheduled to work and the number of persons who are
actually present in their works.
A Worker is to be considered scheduled to work when the work
has been available and the worker has been knowledge of it. In spite of
this, the employee has sufficient belief in advance regarding workers
availability of work at the specified time.
Thus, a worker is considered present who reports for any part of
the shift. The point can be explained by means of an example: Suppose
a worker is on a regularly scheduled vacation. In that case, the worker
is not considered as scheduled to work absent. Similarly, a worker is
not considered absent in case of an employer ordered lay off. On the
other hand, a worker is considered an absent form, scheduled work
who request of time other than a regular vacation period.

 He is considered as absent so long as he does not return to work
or due to the duration of absence his name is not removed from the roll
of active worker’s. in the same way a worker who quites his work
without any advance intimation is also considered as absent from
scheduled work so long as his name is not remove form the roll of
active workers. On the other hand it there is a strike in the factory when
worker are neither considered as scheduled to work nor as absent.
Generally, the rates of absenteeism are calculated on an yearly basis.

CAUSES OF ABSENTEEISM:
The problem of absenteeism in industrial establishment is based
on various grounds, in fact, the causes for absenteeism are many and
varied, which may be classified in the following categories.

(1) Sickness:
Sickness is one of the important factors which is responsible for
absenteeism to a considerable extent. The vitality of Indian industrial
workers is very low, bad nursing and working condition, poor diet and
in sanitary condition of living makes them as easy prey to many
epidemics like Small pox, Maleria, Cholera, etc. Therefore, when they
suffer from epidermis as well as from various diseases. They are
naturally forced to remain absent from their works.

(2) Work System:
The next reason which is important in connection with
absenteeism is know as shift system, generally worker went to be at
home at nighttime, outing to greater discomfort of work during night,
worker prefers to work during daytime.Therefore comparison to the
day shifts the percentage of absenteeism is higher during the night shifts.

(3) Rural Exodus:

The most important case of absenteeism is the rural exodes of
industrial worker over labour force is almost drawn from rural areas.
They are not entirely divorced from agriculture to them industrial work
is simply a source of additional income. Therefore they discontinue,
service at the time of harvesting of crops and sowing of crops, besides,
due to housing problem in urban areas workers generally leave their
families being in their villages. They have to keep in touch with their
member of fimily. Furthermore they have to visit their villages for
certain social and religious ceremonies. Thus the frequent urge of rural
exodus is yet other cause of higher rate of absenteeism.

(4) Industrial Accidents:

Accidents is also a cause of absenteeism due to defective
arrangements in industries, lack of skill and training of workers,
accident generally occur in such occasion, therefore a worker remain
absent from his work.

(Rough Copy) ...10

(5) Bad habits and lack of Responsibility:
Some workers also remain absent on account of their drinking
and gambling habits consequently the degree of absenteeism is greater
just after payday. It is because on such occasion, some worker spend
their money on gambling and drinking and ignore their duties.
Their factories on the other hand these who are not indulged in
these bad habits, generally go to their village to make purchases for the
ensuring months. Due to this reason, the rate of absenteeism is
comparatively high after the payday.

(6) Behaviour of superior and jobber :

The misbehavior of superior and hobbler is also responsible for
absenteeism worker’s want sympathetic behaviour from their
immediate supervisory, therefore in the absence of sympathetic
behavior, workers ignore their duties and remain absent.

(7) Bad Working Condition:

Working condition is also a cause of high absenteeism. In coal
mines, where working condition is unattractive, the rate of absenteeism
is high. Thus, in brief sickness, shift system, rural exodus, industrial
accidents, bad habits and lack of responsibility, behavior of foremen
and jobber are some of the causes, which are responsible for
absenteeism to a considerable extent.
