1  This table only shows duration within the quarter. For instance, an absence of long duration, previous to the present quarter, ending early in the quarter is categorised as "1-31 days", and thus appears to be of short duration. An absence that starts at the end of the quarter is also categorised as "1-31 days", even if it later turns out to be a long one.
