Absence from Work Survey, 1991 [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, 1991, was conducted in 1990, that is, the Reference Year is 1990.

缺勤调查（Absence from Work Survey）主要为达成加拿大人力资源开发部（Human Resources Development Canada）的相关目标而设计。该部门支持合格工资损失赔付计划，该计划适用于已设立自有私人保险计划、用以覆盖雇员因疾病、意外等情况导致薪资损失的雇主。纳入该计划范畴的雇主，可获得向失业保险委员会（Unemployment Insurance Commission）缴纳的缴费额度减免。该调查补充模块的应答数据将为确定合格雇主的缴费额度减免费率提供依据。尽管缺勤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适配委托方的特定需求而制定，因此该调查无法完整呈现因上述各类原因缺勤的人员全貌。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诱因。1991年版缺勤调查于1990年开展，即其基准参考年为1990年。
