Average working days lost per full-time employee in Canada in 2022, by occupation
Days lost per worker are calculated by multiplying the inactivity rate by the estimated number of working days in the year (250). The inactivity rate shows hours lost as a proportion of the usual weekly hours of all full-time employees. It takes into account both the incidence and length of absence.
These estimates apply only to full-time employees who are single job holders. Personal reasons include family responsibilities, maternity leave and own illness or disability.
