1 Easter was in the first quarter in 2002, and in the second quarter in 2001. This is influential when we compare first quarter figures from thesetwo years. Both man-days lost due to sickness absence and scheduled man-days decrease significantly during Easter compared to a normal week at this time of the year. Easter has stronger influence on scheduled man-days than on man-days lost due to sickness. If we did not take the easter week into account the sickness absence rate would have dropped 0.1-0.2 percentage points for most of the groups. |
