Arguing that any explanation of absence rates must take into account the interests of both employers and employees, this book constructs a model of the markets for absence and sick pay. These are not independent since sick pay affects workers' incentives to be absent, and absences affect employers' willingness to pay sick pay. The book reviews the available empirical evidence relating to both markets, stressing the importance of careful identification of the effect of the price of absence on demand, since this is a crucial quantity for firms' policies. It concludes by discussing the implications of the model for human resources management, and for the role of the state in sick pay provision. 517 3 $aWorker Absenteeism & Sick Pay 606 $aSick leave 606 $aAbsenteeism (Labor) 615 0$aSick leave. 615 0$aAbsenteeism (Labor) 676 $a331.25/762 686 $aBUS038000$2bisacsh 700 $aTreble$b John$0146102 702 $aBarmby$b Tim 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789718503321 996 $aWorker absenteeism and sick pay$93714533 997 $aUNINA
