What types of absenteeism can you identify?
- White absenteeism: the illness makes it impossible for the employee to perform his/her work.
- Grey absenteeism: the employee is indeed sick with, for example, a headache or a cold. The decision whether or not to go to work is strongly influenced by the employee himself and his doctor.
- Black absenteeism: this is no signs of any illness, but the employee decides not to come to work anyway. Black absenteeism is sometimes called fraudulent absenteeism.
- Pink absenteeism: occurs when a sick employee still comes to work. This can cause colleagues to get infected too. Moreover, the employee cannot rest and therefore cannot recover.
