The majority of time lost from work as a result of absenteeism is classified as due to sickness although only a small proportion of the total can be regarded as a result of unfitness for work for medical reasons. An occupational health service assists a business in minimizing absenteeism by promoting an early return to work, assists general practitioners and hospital specialists in tailoring return to work packages, and assists employees by liaising with both management and their medical specialists to facilitate a return to normal work.
因旷工导致的大部分工作时间损失被归类为因病缺勤，尽管在总数中只有一小部分可被视为因健康原因不适合工作。职业健康服务通过促进早日重返工作岗位来帮助企业将旷工减至最少，协助全科医生和医院专家制定重返工作计划，并通过与管理层及其医疗专家联系，以促进员工恢复正常工作，从而帮助员工。
