The absences from work can be classified in two groups: at one side, the planned, desired absences (e.g. annual holidays) and at the other side, the unplanned, undesired absences (e.g. illnesses, lay-offs). Whereas the first type of absences could be easily “absorbed” by the companies as their effect could be mitigated by for example rescheduling the work priorities or recruiting temporary staff; the second type could lead to disruption of the production cycles and lead to material losses to both employers and employees.
It is worth noting that sometimes this distinction could be not so easy to make. Usually, annual leaves are guaranteed by the legislation, which may lead some employers to encourage their employees to take holidays when the enterprise is facing economic difficulties. This means that holidays sometimes may mask actual lay-offs.
The beginning of 2020 was marked with an outbreak of worldwide pandemic - COVID-19, which led almost all governments around the globe to take restrictive measures, of which the social distancing had a pivotal role. To prevent the spread of the virus and to ensure distancing of people, many businesses were temporarily shut down and many employees were confined at their homes. Whereas worker protection laws may imply that employment, specifically of employees, will not be affected, at least in the beginning of the pandemic, one may expect over time a sharp rise of absences from work, which fall under the aforementioned second category of undesired, unplanned absences.
