Introduction

INTRODUCTION
The study of absenteeism is very important for any industry. The word absenteeism means the absence of an employee from work when he is scheduled to be present at in work place. An employer has available of work and employee is well aware of it, and when employer has no information in advance, that the employee will not reputed for duty for work if he has taken leave to which he is entitled or on ground of sickness or in case of accident. Thus absence may authorized or unauthorized willful or caused by circumstance beyond employee's control. Absenteeism without genuine reason reflects of belonging and strictly speaking thought not be regarded as a disease, but more a symptom either of shoddy manpower planning which does not take into consideration working conditions and socio-cultural compulsion prevalent in society, or the presence of monotonous schedules at the work site leading to lowering of morale and motivation in the organization. It is therefore imperative that organization undertaken detailed analysis of the causes for absenteeism. There are so many definitions of absenteeism as there are organizations but for our purpose we choose the definition given in the factories Act. Absence is the failure of a worker to report for work when he is scheduled to work. A worker is considered as scheduled to work, when the employer has work available for him and worker is aware of it. A worker is to be treated as absent for purpose of these absenteeism statistics, even when he does not turn for work after obtaining prior permission. Absence of a worker on account of strike or lay-off that is voluntary.

ABSENTEEISM

SPECIAL CONCEPT OF ABSENTEEISM

It refers to workers absence from their regular task when he is normally schedule to work. The according to Websters dictionary Absenteeism is the practice or habit of being an absentee and an absentee is one who habitually stays away from work. According to Labour Bureau of Shimla: - Absenteeism is the total man shifts lost because of absence as percentage of total number of man shifts scheduled to work. In other words, it signifies the absence of an employee from work when he is scheduled to be at work. Any employee may stay away from work if he has taken leave to which he is entitled or on ground of sickness or some accident or without any previous sanction of leave. Thus absence may be authorised or unauthorised, willful or caused by circumstances beyond ones control. Maybe even worse than absenteeism, it is obvious that people such as malingerers and those unwilling to play their part in the workplace can also have a decidedly negative impact. Such team members need individual attention from frontline supervisors and management. Indeed, as prevention is better than cure, where such a problem occurs, it is always important to review recruitment procedures to identify how such individuals came to be employed in the first place. For any business owner or manager, to cure excessive absenteeism, it is essential to find and then eliminate the causes of discontent among team members.

If they find their supervisor or job unpleasant - really unpleasant - they look for legitimate excuses to stay home and find them with things such as upset stomachs or splitting headaches. Any effective absentee control program has to locate the causes of discontent and modify those causes or eliminate them entirely. In other words, if we deal with the real reasons team members stay home it can become unnecessary for them to stay away. Any investigation into absenteeism needs to look at the real reasons for it. Sometimes team members call in sick when they really do not want to go to work. They would not call you up and say, Im not coming in today because my supervisor abuses me. Or, Im not coming in today because my chair is uncomfortable. Or, Im not coming in today because the bathrooms are so filthy, it makes me sick to walk into them.

MEASUREMENT OF ABSENTEEISM
For calculating the rate of absenteeism we require the nu mber of people scheduled to work and number of people actually present. Absenteeism can be find out of absence rate method.

For Example: a) b) c) d) e) Average number of employees in work force : 100 Number of available workdays during period : 20 Total number of available workdays (a x b) : 2,000

Total number of lost days due to absences during the period : 93 Absenteeism percent (d [divided by] c) x 100 : 4.65%

Since absenteeism is a major barometer of employee morale, absenteeism above 5 percent has to be considered as very serious (across most industries 3 percent is considered standard).

CAUSES OF ABSENTEEISM
The Royal Commission Labour observed that high absenteeism among Indian labour is due to rural orientation and their frequent urge for rural exodus. According to Acharaya In modern industrial establishment the incidence of industrial fatigue, mal nutrition and bad working conditions aggravate that feeling for change among industrial worker and some time impel them to visit their village home frequently for rest and relaxation. The general cause of absenteeism may be summarized as below:-

1) MALADJUSTMENT WITH FACTORY

In factory the worker finds caught within factory walls, he is bewildered by heavy traffic, by strangers speaking different and subjected to strict discipline and is ordered by complete strangers to do things which he cannot understand. As a result he is under constant strain, which cause him serious distress and impairs his efficiency. All these factors tend to persu ade him to maintain his contacts with village.

2) SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES

Social and religious ceremonies divert workers from workers to social activities. In large number of cases incidence of absenteeism due to religious ceremonies is more than due to any other reason.

3) HOUSING CONDITIONS
Workers also experience housing difficulties. Around 95% of housing occupied by industrial workers in India is unsatisfactory for healthful habitations. This leads to loss the interest in work.

4) INDUSTRIAL FATIGUE
Low wages compel a worker to seek some part time job to earn some side income. This often result inconstant fatigue, which compels to remain absent for next day.

5) UNHEALTY WORKING CONDITION

Irritating and intolerable working conditions exist in a factory. Heat, moisture, noise, vibration, bad lighting, dust fumes and overcrowding all these affect the workers health causing him to remain absent from work a long time.

6) ABSENCE OF ADEQUATE WELFARE ACTIVITIES

High rate absenteeism is also due to lack of adequate welfare facilities Welfare activities include clean drinking water, canteen, room shelter, rest rooms, washing and bathing facilities, first aid appliances etc.

7) ALCOHOLISM
Some of the habitual drunkards spend whole of their salary during first week of each month for drinking purpose. Therefore 2 or 3 weeks after getting their salary absent themselves from their work.

8) INDEBTNESS
All those workers who undergo financial hardships usually borrow money lenders at interest rate which are very high, which often cumulates to more than 11 12 times their actual salaries. To avoid the moneylenders they usually absent themselves from work because they are unable to return the money in stipulated time.

9) IMPROPER & UNREALISTIC PERSONNEL POLICIES

Due to favouritism and nepotism which are in the industry the workers generally become frustrated. This also results in low efficiency, low productivity, unfavourable relationship between employee and supervisor, which in turn leads to long period of absenteeism.

10) INADEQUATE LEAVE FACILITIES

Negligence on part of the employee to provide leave facility compel the worker to fall back on ESI leave. They are entitled to 50 days leave on half on pay. Instead of going without pay the worker avail themselves of ESI facility

REASONS TO CHOOSE THE PROJECT

When I joined the training at HP VALVES & FITTINGS INDIA PVT. LTD, I was allotted the project of ABSENTEEISM OF EMPLOYEES. Initially it appeared to me quite a simple project, but as I started working on it only then I understood its real significance. It is often easier for the organizations to make arrangement to cover staffs, which are going to be off for long periods. However, employees taking odd days off here and there are more problematic, can have an immediate impact. If remain unchecked, this type of absence can send out the wrong signals to colleagues who, in some jobs, are likely to have to cover for those absent. If employers fail to take action, a buggins turn mentality may emerge. Frequent absence may have serious repercussions where staff are employed in customer-facing roles or employed on production lines. The impact of absence may be most directly felt and the need to arrange cover at short notice may be paramount.

PECULIAR FEATURES OF ABSENTEEISM

On the basis of studies undertaken certain observations may be made: a) The rate of absenteeism is lowest on payday; it increases considerably on the days following the payment of wages and bonus. The level of absenteeism is comparatively high immediately after payday. When worker either feel like having a good time or in some other cases return home to their villages family and after a holiday, has also been found to be higher than that on normal days. b) Absenteeism is generally high workers below 25 years of age and those above 40. The younger employees are not regular and punctual. Presumably because of the employment of a large no. of new comers among the younger age groups, while the older people are not able to withstand the strenuous nature of the work. c) The percentage of absenteeism is higher in the night shift than in the day shift. This is so because workers in the night shift experience great discomfort and uneasiness in the course of their work than they do during day time. d) Absenteeism in India is seasonal in character. It is the highest during March-April-May, when land has to be prepared for monsoon, sowing and also in harvest season (Sept-Oct) when the rate goes as high as 40%.

EFFECTS OF ABSENTEEISM ON INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS

It is quite evident from the above figures that absenteeism is a common feature of industrial labour in India. It hinders industrial growth and its effect in two fold.

1) LOSS TO WORKER
Firstly due to the habit of being absenting frequently workers income is reduced to a large extent. It is because there is a general principle of no work no pay. Thus the time lost in terms of absenteeism is a loss of income to workers

2) LOSS TO EMPLOYERS
On other hand, the employer has to suffer a greater loss due to absentees. It disturbs the efficiency and discipline of industries consequently, industrial production is reduced. In order to meet the emergency and strikes, an additional labour force is also maintain by the industries. On certain occasions, those workers are employed who present themselves at factory gates. During strikes they are adjusted in place of absent workers. Their adjustment brings serious complications because such workers do not generally prove themselves up to work. Higher absenteeism is an evil both for workers and the employers and ultimately it adversely affects the production of industries.

ANALYSIS OF CAUSES 1) FAMILY ORIENTED & RESPONSIBILITES

It was observed that about 40% case absenteeism is family oriented and more responsibilities of workers. It increases in harvesting season.

2)

SOCIAL CEREMONIES

In 20 % cases it was found that social and religious functions divert worker from work.

3)

HOUSING FACILITY

In about 30% cases, the workers remain absent because there is no housing facilities and the workers stay alone and great distance from factory.

4)

SICKNESS AND ACCIDENT

In 20% case the workers remain absent due to ill health and disease and in 15% cases workers remain absent due to accident.

5)

TRANSPORTATION

Most of the workers have to travel long distance to reach the work place. Most of the workers are not satisfied with transport facilities.

6)

WELFARE FACILITES

In 13% cases, the workers are not satisfied with welfare facilities.

7)

WORKING CONDITIONS

In 21% cases, the workers feel that there is not good working condition, because they work in standing position which causes to remain absence for relaxation.

8)

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Near about 34% people are dissatisfied with management system because they feel tha t their work is not being recognized and promotions are biased.

ABSENTEEISM - TYPES
There are two types of absenteeism, each of which requires a different type of approach.

1. INNOCENT ABSENTEEISM
Innocent absenteeism refers to employees who are absent for reasons beyond their control; like sickness and injury. Innocent absenteeism is not culpable which means that it is blameless. In a labour relations context this means that it cannot be remedied or treated by disciplinary measures.

2. CULPABLE ABSENTEEISM
Culpable absenteeism refers to employees who are absent without authorization for reasons which are within their control. For instance, an employee who is on sick leave even though he/she is not sick, and it can be proven that the employee was not sick, is guilty of culpable absenteeism. To be culpable is to be blameworthy. In a labour relations context this means that progressive discipline can be applied. For the large majority of employees, absenteeism is legitimate, innocent absenteeism which occurs infrequently. Procedures for disciplinary action apply only to culpable absenteeism. Many organizations take the view that through the process of individual absentee counseling and treatment, the majority of employees will overcome their problems and return to an acceptable level of regular attendance.

GUIDELINES & MEASURES FOR CONTROL OF ABSNTEEISM

Absenteeism is a disease that appears whenever a company fails to inoculate itself through the use of sound management practices. To cure excessive absenteeism, one has to know the exact causes and then examine the available, workable and proven solutions to apply against those causes. To embark upon a successful absenteeism reduction program, you need to make sure you have some basic information and facts about absenteeism in your company. Consider the following four questions, which should help you further focus your ideas and put a plan into action.

Q . Why is your present absenteeism policy ineffective? Absenteeism policies vary in effectiveness. Most ineffective policies I have reviewed have a common denominator: They allow "excused" absences, whereas those that do work are "no fault" policies.

Q. Where and when is excessive absenteeism occurring? Numerous studies have concluded that under trained supervisors is one of the main causes of absenteeism. Therefore, any company experiencing absenteeism of greater than 3 percent should consider supervisors as a potential contributor to the problem.

Given that this may be the case, you first should check the percentage of employee absenteeism by supervisor to see if it is concentrated around one or two supervisors. If it is, you've begun to uncover the obvious -undertrained supervisors. If, however, your research reveals that the rate of absenteeism is almost equally distributed throughout your factory, you will need to investigate other possible causes.

Q. What are the real causes for absences? People-oriented companies are very sensitive to employee opinions. They often engage in formal mini-studies to solicit anonymous employee opinions on topics of mutual interest. These confidential worker surveys commonly ask for employee opinion regarding higher-than-normal absenteeism. In other words, employees revealed that repetitive, boring jobs coupled with uncaring supervisors and/or physically unpleasant workplaces led them to make up excuses for not coming to work, such as claiming to be sick. One way to determine the causes of absenteeism is to question your supervisors about their employees' excessive absenteeism, including what causes it and how to reduce it.

Q. How much formal training have your supervisors received on absenteeism containment and reduction? If you find that your supervisors hesitate to provide meaningful answers to your questions, then you're on the right track toward a solution. Ask yourself, "How much formal training have I given my supervisors in the areas of absenteeism reduction and human resources skills?" If your answer is none or very little, your solution can't be far behind. The fact of the matter is, you cannot ask a person to do a job he or she has never been trained to do.

Following are the measures to control absenteeism:1) ADOPTION OF A WELL DEFINED RECRUITMENT PROCEDURE
The selection of employees on the basis of command, linguistic and family consideration should be avoided. The management should look for aptitude and ability in the prospective employees and should not easily yield or pressure of personal likes and dislikes. Application blanks should invariably be used for a preliminary selection and tools for interviews. The personal officer should play more effective role as coordinator of informati on, provided that he has acquired job knowledge in the function of selection. Employers should also take into account the fact that selection should be for employees development, their reliance. They should as far as possible rely on employment exchange. .

2) PROVISION

OF

HEALTHFUL

AND

HYGENIC

WORKING CONDITION
In India, where the climate is warm and most of the work involves manual labour, it is essential that the workers should be provided with proper and healthy working conditions. The facilities of drinking water, canteens, lavatories, rest rooms, lighting and ventilation, need to be improved. Where any one of these facilities is not available, it should be provided and all these help in keeping the employee cheerful and increase productivity and the efficiency of operations throughout the plant.

3) PROVISION

OF

REASONABLE

WAGES

AND

ALLOWANCE AND JOB SECURITY TO WOTRKERS

The wages of an employee determine his as well as his family standard of living. This single factor is important for him than other. The management should, therefore pay reasonable wages and allowances, taking into account the capacity of the industry to pay.

4) MOTIVATORS WELFARE AND SOCIAL MEASURES

The management should consider the needs of workers and offer them adequate and cheap housing facilities, free of subsidized food, free medical and transport facilities, free education facilities for their children and other monetary benefits. As for social security is concern, the provision of Provident Fund, SBI facilities, Gratuity and Pension, all those need to be improved.

5) IMPROVED

COMMUNICATION

AND

PROMPT

REDRESSAL OF GRIEVANCES
Since a majority of the workers are illiterate or not highly educated bulletins and written notices journals and booklets are not easily understood by them. Meetings and concealing are called for written communication becomes meaningful only when workers can readied understood them, too many notices should be avoided only the essential ones should be put on the boards, which should be placed near the entrance inside the canteen and in areas which are frequently visited by the workers so that they are aware of the policies of the company and any sort changes being made.

6) LIBERAL GRANT OF LEAVE

The managements strict attitude in granting leave and holidays even when the need for them is genuine, tempts workers to go on E.S.I. leave for under this scheme, they can have 56 days leaves in years on half pay. An effective way of dealing with absenteeism is to liberalize leave rules.

7) SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION

Safety at work can be maintained and accidents can be prevented if the management tries to eliminate such personal factors as negligence, overconfidence, carelessness, vanity, etc and such material factorizes unguarded machinery and explosives, defective equipment an d hand tools. Safe methods of operation should be taught. In addition consistent and timely safely instruction, written instructions (manual) in the regional language of the area should be given to the work force.

8) CORDIAL

RELATIONS

BETWEEN

SUPERVISORS

AND WORKERS
The supervisor should be recognize that industrial work is a groups task and cannot be properly done unless discipline is enforced and maintained. Cordial relations between the supervisors and these workers are therefore essential for without them, discipline cannot be increased. One of the consequences of unhealthy relations between supervisors and subordinates is absenteeism.

9) DEVELOPMENT OF WORKERS BY TRAINING

The system of workers education should be so designed as to take into account their educational needs as individuals for their personal evaluation, as operatives for their efficiency and advancement, as citizens for happy integrated life in the community, as members of a trade union for the protection of their interests. The educational programs according to their national commission on Labour should be to make a worker:a) A responsible, committed and disciplines operative. b) Aware of his rights and obligations. c) Lead a calm, clean and health life, based on a firm ethical foundation. d) A responsible and alter citizen.

Conclusion & Suggestion

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Absenteeism is a serious problem for management because it involves heavy additional expenses. The management should take the following measures to reduce the rate of absenteeism:-

1) Provide Incentives - An incentive provides an employee with a boost to their motivation and avoid unnecessary absenteeism. Incentives like two hours of bonus pay for every month of perfect attendance can improve a lot. 2) Employee Assistance Program - If you confront an employee about his or her frequent absenteeism and you find out that it is due to personal problems refer them to EAP. 3) Sickness Reporting Tell employees that they must phone in as early as possible to advise why they are unable to make it to work and when they expect to return. 4) Return to Work Interview - When an employee returns to work then ensure that they have a return to work interview. 5) Bradford factor - can also be used to identify and cure excessive absenteeism. In the end to conclude this report I would like to specify that the project allotted to me on ABSENTEEISM was of immense help to me in understanding the working environment of an organization, thereby providing a firsthand practical experience. In this project while identifying the reasons of absenteeism of the workers of HP Valves and Fittings India Pvt. Ltd. I got an opportunity to interact with workers to observe their behaviour and attitude. In the end I would once again like to thank the people of HP Valves and Fittings India Pvt. Ltd. who helped me in accomplishing this project and boosting my morale by appreciating and recognizing my efforts.
