Supplementary notes

*Because of the COVID-19 pandemic a high number of people in employment were on furlough (away from work which they expect to return to) during 2020 which has impacted some of the measures of sickness absence; some of the falls seen in 2020 will be because there were fewer people in work,

A day is defined as 7.5 hours.
The number of days lost through sickness absence is calculated for all people in employment aged 16 and over.
Quarterly datasets were used to generate annual averages
The average number of days lost to sickness per worker is calculated by dividing the total number of days lost to sickness by the total number of people aged 16 and over in employment.
