Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Spanish term or phrase: AUSENTISMO
Ausentismo laboral de una persona durante un período
Carmen Garcia Morillo
English translation:Absenteeism from work
Explanation:
Es "absentismo" y no "ausentismo". Al menos nunca he oído "ausentismo". Absentismo laboral es "absenteeism from work". Lo que pasa es que no es muy utilizado porque no se produce mucho ya que si se realiza el empleado está de patitas en la calle en menos de lo que canta un gallo.

agree  Refugio: This is a better choice for the absences of an individual, even if they are chronic. Absenteeism is a more general term referring to absence patterns of the entire work force of a business or organization, as in, the problem of absenteeism.

neutral  Refugio: However, a leave of absence covers a block of time and is taken with prior permission. Ausentismo here would seem to imply separated absences of differing causes.
