1. INTRODUCTION
The employee’s low attendance is a good sign of corporate ill-health as it may point out to low morale plus work conflict that exist in the organization, and it is intrinsically linked with the employee retention. Therefore, in past few decades a number of theories have become increasingly refined to explain the factors that influence employees’ attendance. By definition attendance is the act of attending or being present at work. Also, it is used to define the number of employees present on a particular day at work. Reliable and consistent employee attendance lays on contextual factors like personal characteristics and other attendance motivation factors such as personal traits plus employment relationships. However, it is

Nowadays, employee attendance is the main concern for many organization. One of the organization is MACL. They need to know the reasons behind the employee’s attendance. In one particular day their 527 employees are on leave or not attending to work due to different reasons. So, the colleagues working in the same department have to bear the burden.

The repercussions of missing an appointment There are a range of effects for a person missing an appointment. Not only will missing an appointment affect the individual who missed it, least of all, not showing up for a scheduled appointment is disrespectful to all the people that might have benefited from it in the first place. Missing an appointment not only punishes others that may have gained from that time slot, you also punish the practitioner by wasting their valuable time. GP appointments in the NHS are being wasted every day by patients not bothering to turn up, the lost time is equivalent to a year’s work for 1,300 doctors and costs the NHS more than £300million annually.
During the early centuries of the Edo Period in Japan (1600-1868), the Shogun (military commander) would have the domain lords of surrounding lands provide samurai that would have to give at least a year of service to him in Edo every other year. The domain lords and the samurai had to walk back and forth from their home domains all over Japan to where the Tokugawa family ruled in Edo. This march and the service was known as the alternate attendance (sankin kotai) (pg. 1). The men were not doing this because they wanted to, but because they were forced.
Later School Start Times “‘I’ve gained an hour of sleep,’ she said. ‘I definitely feel a lot better. I find myself waking up around 7:30 without an alarm because it’s a natural time. It’s a great, great feeling.’” Says Lily Grey Rudges, a high school student in Seattle(At these schools, later start times get an A-plus for youths needing more sleep).
Americans, when they think of Civil Rights probably think of the Civil Rights Movement. During the civil rights era African Americans fought to be treated as equals by fighting segregated schools, for their voting rights, and for their basic right that every American has today. To say that education is our civil rights movement of today is inaccurate. Antonio Alvarez’s narrative “Out Of My Hands” focuses on a financially struggling family, but proving that they can succeed. David L. Kirp’s article “The Secret to Fixing Bad Schools” reinforces the idea that even though a community might be poor, that doesn’t have to reflect the quality of education students receive.

The first reason can be an increased communication between the employees as so many information and matters had to be discussed before making the final decision or to start the task by the employee. The critical need of communication in non- for profit organizations and how most executives are now using digital communication, particularly email, as the communication method of choice. (Seshadhri & Carstenson, 2007). Thus this lead to a problem for organizations, the employees says that there has been a tremendous increase in the exchange of emailing between the employees for this they are now working even at home as they need to reply the mails. Even sometimes at work they receive so many emails from different departments which makes them less efficient as more than half of their time they are only responding to the mails of other employees and not doing their authorised tasks with full concentration.
Moreover, the aim, objectives and research questions on which the study is based is also highlighted in this chapter. Chapter 2: Literature Review In this chapter, the research aim and objectives are discussed in the light of previous studies. Different journal articles and research papers are searched and utilised in order to analyse the research
It is usually advisable to use the Bradford Factor as one of a number of absence policies. However, setting these triggers and making staff aware of them, in addition to taking action, resulted in the Prison Service reducing absenteeism by 18%. By implementing mandatory procedures for tackling absenteeism across an organization led by the Bradford Factor, an organization can remove the potential for differences across teams and management and remove the difficulties and reluctance that line managers often face when having to discipline a close staff member. The Bradford Factor can provide organizations with a two pronged method for tackling absence: proactively deterring absence in the first place and utilizing a set procedure to identify and tackle persistent absenteeism.

This affects the firm’s or department’s budget greatly as this may involve hiring unanticipated workers, having other employees work overtime, or running around trying to cover up for an absent coworker at the last minute. What are the causes of absenteeism? First, we need to look at the causes of absenteeism. Some absenteeism is unavoidable due to health reasons, if a sick employee shows up sick or injured at work it will be an unproductive/slow day, because the health issues will take a toll on their job performance. Another reason for absence is work/life balance.

Paris provides a vivid understanding as to why students misbehave in the school house. Paris brings up the idea of performance of resistance. Performance of resistance views student misbehavior through a critical lens. The critical analysis performance of resistance behavior is in complete response to the negative gaze, the degrading treatment, and the hurtful assumptions many youth of color receive from pro-banking model teachers. This idea sheds light on one of the many frustrations teachers generally express when teaching students of color.
For example the 3 definitions quoted above reflect the evolution of the concepts and applications of epidemiology over the years. In most definitions of epidemiology, the 3 terms, Determinants, Distribution and Disease frequency are used directly or indirectly. In John M Last’s definition of epidemiology (may not be the last definition of epidemiology!) the two terms ‘states’ (prevalence) or ‘events’ (incidence) represent the term ‘disease frequency’.
