| 1 Easter was in the first quarter in 2005, and in the second quarter in 2004. This is influential when we compare first quarter figures from these two years. Both man-days lost due to sickness absence and scheduled man-days decrease significantly during Easter compared to a normal week at this time of the year. Easter has stronger influence on scheduled man-days than on man-days lost due to sickness. If we did not take the easter week into account the sickness absence rate would have dropped nearly 0.1 percentage points for most of the groups. |
