Absenteeism Is Costing You More Than You Think

Every business deals with employee absences. But when days off become unpredictable or prolonged, productivity takes a hit. Deadlines slip. Morale drops. And your bottom line? It bleeds quietly in the background.

Unscheduled absenteeism costs employers an estimated $3,600 per hourly worker and $2,650 per salaried employee each year. And that’s before factoring in the ripple effects:

• Overtime to cover shifts

• Missed customer opportunities

• Burned-out coworkers filling in

• Frustration from lack of coverage

The kicker? Most absences come from preventable or manageable health issues—like short-term illnesses, injuries, or chronic conditions employees don’t report until it’s too late.

Solution:

That’s where voluntary benefits step in.

By offering affordable, payroll-deducted plans like short-term disability, accident, or critical illness coverage, you give your employees a safety net—and give your business a shield against unplanned absences.

Final Thought:

Absenteeism isn’t just a people problem. It’s a profit problem. But with the right benefits and a side of chicken marsala, you can protect both.
