The total cost of staff absence per year runs at approximately 15% of payroll costs which, in pounds and pence,  equates to an average direct cost of £659 per employee per year but indirect costs associated with absence equate to an additional £263 per employee per year so the reality is, UK business are losing an average of £922 per employee due to staff absence.
