An organization has noticed a problem with employee absenteeism for the past year. The HR (human resources) director informs administration that the organization?s sick day policy has not been updated in the past 5 years
Which of the following changes to this policy might have a positive effect on the organization?s absenteeism? 1. Change the sick day policy to allow for personal days.
2. Increase the amount of sick time accrual for each employee.
3. Limit the amount of sick time employees may use each year regardless of the amount they have accrued.
4. Allow employees to cash in their sick time no matter how many hours they have accrued.

Explanation: 1. Allowing employees to take personal days prevents the employee from having to lie
occasionally to take a day they need off when they are not ill. Increasing the amount of sick
time or limiting the amount of sick time will not address the issue and may cause an increase
in absenteeism. Allowing the employees to cash in their sick time does not protect them in the
event of an illness, plus this does not allow for administration to budget for such a large sum of
money in a short period of time.
