In the skilled trades, sick time refers to the time employees are absent due to illness. Sick time can represent a considerable burden for skilled trades businesses, as the absence of employees can lead to production delays and higher costs. Targeted prevention of illness and quick and uncomplicated integration of sick employees into the business are therefore of great importance. An important factor in reducing sick time is the establishment of a company health management system and the implementation of measures to promote employee health. In this way, sick time in the skilled trades can be reduced in the long term.
