Absence from Work Survey, 1984 [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. <br> The Absence From Work Survey, 1984, was conducted in 1983, that is, the Reference Year is 1983.

《缺勤调查》（Absence from Work Survey）的设计初衷主要是为了实现加拿大人力资源开发部（Human Resources Development Canada）的目标。该部门资助合格工资损失补偿计划（qualified wage loss replacement plan），此计划适用于已制定私人计划以覆盖员工因疾病、事故等导致工资损失的雇主。纳入该计划的雇主可获得向失业保险委员会（Unemployment Insurance Commission）缴纳配额的减免。通过补充问卷回复生成的数据将为确定合格雇主的配额减免率提供依据。尽管《缺勤调查》收集了因疾病、事故或怀孕导致的缺勤信息，但由于其概念和定义是专为客户需求制定的，因此无法全面反映因这些原因缺勤的人群情况。本调查中，缺勤被定义为时长至少两周，且仅询问受访者最近一次及前一次缺勤的三个原因。<br>1984年《缺勤调查》于1983年开展，即参考年份（Reference Year）为1983年。
