Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Total time lost is the number of scheduled days an employee misses. Absence frequency is the
total number of distinct absence periods regardless of their duration. Voluntary absenteeism is
absences that the employee can control. Involuntary absenteeism is absences in which the
employee is unable to control.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. The manager should assess the time range over which the absences have occurred and the
frequency. This information might help explain the absences once the manager meets with the
nurse. Number of hours missed per pay period does not provide useful information. The
manager is not able to determine the nature of the absences until meeting with the nurse to
discuss the absenteeism.
