What absence actually costs you
Sources: UWV on continued wage payment (maximum 104 weeks, at least 70% of gross salary; most cao's pay 100% in the first year) and on the extra year UWV can impose when re-integration efforts fall short. Cost per sick day: EUR 250-300, the range reported from TNO and ArboNed research. Our estimate: 3 employees x about 220 working days x EUR 250-300 = around EUR 165,000-198,000 a year.
