Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Employees have personal lives and personal issues that occasionally conflict with work. The
nurse with the involuntary absence is due to illness. The nurse who had voluntary absences
had fewer days absent, but the absences were for reasons over which the nurse had control.
The nurse with the involuntary absence is more reliable because the absence is less frequent
and out of her control.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Voluntary absenteeism is not coming to work due to a problem that is under the employees
control. Day-care problems are within an employees control. Illness is an example of
involuntary absenteeism. Absence frequency is the number of incidents that an employee has
been absent, and total time lost is a summary of the hours an employee has missed.
