Days Off for the Flu

Flu Days 2

This USA Today Snapshot by Ann Carey and Gia Kereselidze summarizes how many days people call in sick with the flu. Costs for sick days? $600 per employee per year, and that’s just salary lost according to CFO Magazine. That price doesn’t include replacement costs or overtime required to take up the slack.

    The flu season is in full swing. I know it’s running around the schools, so it’ll hit the workplace soon. I wonder if anyone has studied productivity in February vs. May or October.
