Dear Ruchika,
A few quick questions are as below:
a) What is the method of classification of the employee's absence in your company? Is it authorised absence (employee leave) and unauthorised absence?
b) What is the break-up in the percentage of the authorised absence and unauthorised absence?
c) Has your company noticed the seasonality factor in (i) authorised absence and (ii) unauthorised absence?
d) What efforts your company has taken to reduce the percentage of unauthorised absence?
e) What is the general process of discipline to handle the unauthorised absence?
f) If the employee continues with his/her unauthorised absence, after how many days/weeks/months, his/her name is struck from the rolls of the company?
g) Has your company measured the impact of authorised and unauthorised absence on the business?
You may send the above questionnaire to the companies from the different industry segments and do the industry-wise analysis too.
All the best!

Dear Madam,
I would prefer to give you some trigger thoughts for preparing a questionnaire relating to the study of Absenteeism, instead of ready-made questions.
The study should focus on collecting data of:
* Definitions of the critical concepts, like Absenteeism, absence from the workplace, Leave, Absence after overstaying of sanctioned leave, Intimation of and prior permission for leave, and policy, if any, relating to Attendance system at the workplace followed by the organizations under study.
I think the whole study hinges on twin sides of the same coin- Absence from the workplace and permitted leave of absence.The absence from the workplace without prior permission or intimation disrupts the smooth working whereas planned and permitted leave can facilitate making alternative arrangements and may cause fewer disruptions.
So the study should cover data collection of planned vs unplanned absence over a period say a minimum of one year or more to analyse trends and pattern. It should study, whether the unplanned absence is more prone in certain departments, jobs, gender, shifts or closer to certain festivals, weekly offs and seasons. The collection of the data and analysis of the comparative picture of all variables and factors causing absenteeism would be great value addition.
The study should cover the disciplinary policy and procedure followed to curb absenteeism and also its impact on it's reduction or otherwise.
The study should also cover what alternative arrangements are made, impact on manpower planning, production, quality and delivery caused by unplanned absenteeism.
The study should also cover the measurement method of absenteeism.
These are some random thoughts and by no means meant to encompass all relevant aspects of absenteeism.
