N2 - This study investigated absenteeism among nursing staff at a long-term care facility. Four absenteeism measures were calculated from personnel records for each month of the year: no pay, sum of unscheduled, unpaid-sick and leave without pay; part-day, sum of arrived late and left early; paid-sick; and total. Independent variables included job level, part/full-time status, shift, sex, marital status, number of tax exemptions, birth year, and year of employment. Absenteeism was lowest in winter; lower for higher level staff; higher the greater the number of exemptions taken; and most importantly, lower for staff with seniority.
