Absence from Work Survey, 1996 [Canada]

The Absence from Work Survey was designed primarily to fulfill the objectives of Human Resources Development Canada. They sponsor the qualified wage loss replacement plan which applies to employers who have their own private plans to cover employee wages lost due to sickness, accident, etc. Employers who fall under the plan are granted a reduction in their quotas payable to the Unemployment Insurance Commission. The data generated from the responses to the supplement will provide input to determine the rates for quota reductions for qualified employers. Although the Absence from Work Survey collects information on absences from work due to illness, accident or pregnancy, it does not provide a complete picture of people who have been absent from work for these reasons because the concepts and definitions have been developed specifically for the needs of the client. Absences in this survey are defined as being at least two weeks in length, and respondents are only asked the three reasons for their most recent absence and the one preceding it. &lt;br&gt; The Absence From Work Survey, 1996, was conducted in 1995, that is, the Reference Year is 1995.《缺勤情况调查（Absence from Work Survey）》最初专为加拿大人力资源开发部（Human Resources Development Canada）的工作目标设计。该部门牵头设立符合资质的工资损失补偿计划，面向拥有自有私人薪酬保障方案的雇主，用于覆盖雇员因疾病、意外等情况导致的薪资损失。纳入该计划的雇主可获得向失业保险委员会（Unemployment Insurance Commission）缴纳的缴款份额减免。本次调查的回复数据将为核定符合资质雇主的缴款减免费率提供依据。尽管《缺勤情况调查》收集了雇员因疾病、意外或妊娠缺勤的相关信息，但由于其概念与定义仅为委托方的特定需求定制，该调查无法完整呈现因上述原因缺勤的全体人群全貌。本次调查将缺勤时长定义为至少两周，且仅向受访者询问其最近一次及上一次缺勤的三类原因。<br>1996年版《缺勤情况调查》于1995年开展，其参考年度为1995年。
