FMLA_Absence_Incidence_.pdf

This document presents a detailed FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) Absence Incidence report covering the period from January 1, 2021, to October 31, 2024. The data is segmented into two categories: FMLA Federal Only and STD/FMLA Coordinated, tracking absence counts, eligible employee counts, and annualized incidence rates across four consecutive years. The total eligible employee count grows from 3,101 in 2021 to 3,206 in 2024, indicating a steady increase in workforce size.

The data reveals a consistent decline in FMLA absence rates over the tracked period. For FMLA Federal Only, the annualized incidence rate drops from 8.03% in 2021 to 6.77% in 2024, representing a 15.7% reduction. Similarly, the STD/FMLA Coordinated absence rate shows an even more significant decrease, falling from 7.03% in 2021 to 4.40% in 2024, which represents a 37.4% reduction. This downward trend suggests potential improvements in workforce health, leave management strategies, or workplace conditions that may be contributing to reduced FMLA and short-term disability absences.
