    Assignment:

    1. Think about your current position or a prior position you have held (provide a

    one or two sentence description of the position). Based on your reading of

    Chapter 4, how costly do you think absenteeism is for that position? You do

    NOT need to provide an exact estimate of the cost of absenteeism, but I would

    like you to think about both the direct costs associated with absenteeism as

    well as the indirect costs.

    2. If you had to provide even just a guess, what do you think is the cost (total, so

    including both direct and indirect costs) of 1 day of absence in the position

    you described?

    3. How do you feel your estimate of the cost of absenteeism compares to what

    others in the organization would feel is the cost of absenteeism?
