Absence from Work Survey, 1987 [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. The Absence From Work Survey, 1987, was conducted in 1986, that is, the Reference Year is 1986.缺勤调查（Absence from Work Survey）最初专为达成加拿大人力资源开发部（Human Resources Development Canada）的目标而设计。该部门赞助合格工资损失替代计划，该计划覆盖那些拥有私人计划以弥补雇员因疾病、意外等情况所损失工资的雇主。符合该计划要求的雇主，可获得向失业保险委员会（Unemployment Insurance Commission）缴纳的配额减免。本次调查的应答数据将用于确定符合条件雇主的配额减免费率。尽管缺勤调查收集了因疾病、意外或怀孕导致的缺勤相关信息，但由于其概念与定义专为委托方需求制定，因此无法完整呈现因上述各类原因缺勤的人群全貌。本次调查将缺勤定义为时长至少两周，且仅向受访者询问其最近一次及前一次缺勤的三类原因。1987年版缺勤调查于1986年开展，即其参考年度为1986年。
