Quarterly Labour Cost Survey: The Quarterly Labour Cost Survey (ETCL) conducted by the National Statistics Institute (INE)
Social Security Statistics, Budgets and Studies Social Security Statistics, Budgets and Studies collected by the Ministry of Employment, Migrations and Social Security

Quarterly Labour Cost Survey

This is a quarterly nationwide survey carried out on 28,500 establishments with more than 500 workers.

With the information contained in this Adecco Absenteeism Report, a report in which FREMAP has collaborated since 2012, along with other entities, such as AMAT, Garrigues, IESE, and the University Carlos III de Madrid, the absenteeism rate is defined and calculated with the following ratio:

Absenteeism rate

Total non-worked hours for occasional causes(Days lost)

divided by

Total possible working hours(Effective negotiated days)

x 100

Non-worked hours (for occasional causes): Hours not worked due to holidays and bank holidays and hours for Temporary Labour Force Adjustment Plans are excluded. Temporary Labour Force Adjustment Plans (ERTE) are excludeds .
Effective negotiated hours: Sum total of negotiated hours and overtine hours, excluding non-worked hours not worked due to holidays and bank holidays and hours for ERTE's .

The total absenteeism rate (temporary disability and for other causes) had the following evolution:

2008-2011: The absenteeism rate stabilised around 4.7%.
2012-2013: The absenteeism rate reduced from 4.3% to 4.1%.
2014-2016: The absenteeism rate was 4.4%, 4.7% and 4.88%, respectively.
2017: It increased to 5% after the sharp decline since 2008
2018: The absenteeism rate was 5.26%
2019: The absenteeism rate was 5.59%
2020: The absenteeism rate was 7.06%. This rise is due to an increase in unworked hours due to temporary disability. The hours of technical and economic ratios are not taken into account in the calculation of the index
2021: The index of absenteeism is placed at 6.6%

When it comes to the evolution of the absenteeism rate for temporary disability went the next one:

2007 to 2013: The absenteeism rate due to temporary disability dropped from 3.85% in 2007 to 2.70% in 2013.
2014-2015: The absenteeism rate increased from 2.96% to 3.25%
2016-2017: The absenteeism rate due to temporary incapacity rose from 3.44% to 3.58%
2018: The absenteeism rate for TD was 3.81%
2019: The absenteeism rate for TD was 4.12%
2020: The absenteeism rate for temporary disability was 5.25%
2021: The absenteeism rate for temporary disability was 4.99%
