The Labour Force Surveys are used to construct monthly, quarterly and annual absence rate series for British full-time employees in 1984-1997. The long term trend is for the absence rate to remain constant at around 3.2%. A seasonal pattern is also found, with the absence rate being highest in December and lowest in May. The same data is also decomposed respect to various socio-economic characteristic. These include, geographical area, gender, age, marital status, trade union membership, industry and occupation. Systematic patterns are evident in these decompositions.
