To propose a standard measure of absenteeism (the work lost rate [WLR]) be included in future research to facilitate understanding and allow for translation of findings between scientific disciplines.
Hourly payroll data derived from "punch clock" reports was used to compare various measures of absenteeism used in the literature and the application of the proposed metric (N = 4000 workers).
Unpaid hours and full absent days were highly correlated with the WLR (r = 0.896 to 0.898). The highest percentage of unpaid hours (lost work time) is captured by absence spells of 1 and 2 days duration.
The proposed WLR metric captures: 1) The range and distribution of the individual WLRs, 2) the percentage of subjects with no unpaid hours, and 3) the population WLR and should be included whenever payroll data is used to measure absenteeism.
建议在未来研究中纳入旷工的标准测量指标（工作损失率[WLR]），以促进理解并允许不同学科间研究结果的转化。
利用从“打卡”报告中获取的小时工资数据，比较文献中使用的各种旷工测量指标以及所提议指标的应用情况（N = 4000名工人）。
无薪工时和全天缺勤天数与工作损失率高度相关（r = 0.896至0.898）。持续1天和2天的缺勤时段所导致的无薪工时（工作时间损失）占比最高。
所提议的工作损失率指标能够反映：1）个体工作损失率的范围和分布，2）无无薪工时的受试者百分比，以及3）总体工作损失率，并且在使用工资数据测量旷工情况时均应纳入该指标。
