Abstract

  This study is to determine the extent of sickness absenteeism among the employees working in a hospital. I particularly wanted to find out the degree of impact of sickness absence on the OPD staff of a hospital. Sickness absenteeism is the major occupational health problem in developing countries where the population is engaged in hazardous sectors. Consequently, sicknesses causing a disability for a shorter time than the waiting period are often not reported to the benefit organization. The maximum period of benefit payment influences the average duration of disability computed from the benefit records, since chronic diseases exceeding the maximum benefit period escape recording as far as the excess is concerned. Lowering the standards of disability does not affect the worker's physical well-being; raising these standards has to be justified by the results of medical research. As long as these results are lacking the disability standards are likely to continue to fall
