ABSENCE IMPACTS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
• The Department of Education calls the measure a “leading indicator,”* a reasonable label given the documented relationship between absence rates measured at the teacher level and student achievement.

TEACHER ABSENTEEISM
• 37% of teachers (approximately 900,000 teachers) in the CRDC sample were absent for 10 or more days of school, for non-school-related reasons.

State averages on the Civil Rights Data Collection measure of teacher absence range from: • 20.9% (Utah) - 50.2% (Rhode Island)
• Minnesota is at 42.3%
– Mean Rank for MN 11out of 50
DATA SUMMARY

MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
A PORTION OF THE COST EQUATION • Example: District X substitute teacher pay is $180 per day.
There are 400 teachers.
• *On average 5.3% of teachers are absent on any given day – Average daily sub costs = $3,816 – Annualized sub costs = $705,960
• In Minnesota 42.3% of teachers are absent >10 days per year – 10 days for 42.3% of teaching staff = $304,560.

CIVIL RIGHTS DATA COLLECTION New Data Request in 2009: Teacher Absences
“Notwithstanding concerns about equity, attention to this issue is appropriate for two reasons:
1. Teachers are the most important school-based determinant of students’ academic success. It’s no surprise researchers find that teacher absence lowers student achievement.
2. Resources are scarce, and any excess of funds tied up in teacher absence, which costs at least $4 billion annually, should be put to better use.”

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
12 April 22, 2013
They are watching
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
WHAT “THEY”ARE SAYING…. • State policymakers should revisit statutes governing
employees’ leave privileges.
• All states should follow the lead of California and New Jersey to ensure that employees have access to family and medical leave insurance
• Encourage local policymakers to “right-size” leave privileges and initiate incentive policies designed to reduce levels of teacher absence. The cost associated with smart incentive plans can be covered by the savings realized from reduced absence rates. Improved student achievement would be a likely and desirable side benefit of such initiatives.

THE REALITIES OF WORKPLACE STRESS IN AMERICA
• 39% of adults report increased stress over past year; 44% report increased stress over past 5 years. (APA, Jan. 2012) - Main sources of stress: Money (75%) , Work (70%)
• 80% of workers feel stress on the job. (American Institute of Stress, 2011)
• Workplace stress is as bad for the heart as smoking & high cholesterol. (JAMA, Oct. 2007)
• 90% of all visits to primary care doctors are related to stress. (JOEM, Oct. 1998)
22
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
STRESS IN SCHOOLS • Teacher satisfaction has
declined 23 percentage points since 2008, from 62% to 39% very satisfied, including five percentage points since last year, to the lowest level in 25 years.
• Half (51%) of teachers report feeling under great stress several days a week, an increase of 15 percentage points over 36% of teachers reporting that level in 1985.

IMPACT OF A NEGATIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT
• Elements of negative work environment: – Dissatisfaction with job – Authoritative rather than collaborative leadership – Lack of trust and openness at work – Lack of focus on individual strengths
• Employers eliminating even just ONE of these negative factors will see one of the greatest improvements in well-being and return on employee investment

FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT (FMLA) The Least You Need to Know…
20
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
MANAGING LEAVES & FMLA
• What is the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)? – Enacted in 1993 – Provides up to 12 weeks
per year of unpaid, job-protected leave from work
57 April 22, 2013
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
MANAGING LEAVES & FMLA Allowable Leave Types
• Your serious health condition
• Military exigency
• Military caregiver
• Birth, Adoption
• To care for a family member’s serious health condition
58 April 22, 2013
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC 59 April 22, 2013
MANAGING LEAVES & FMLA Tracking is Key!
• Leave may be taken consecutively or intermittently – Example of consecutive FMLA leave: typical maternity leave
– Example of intermittent FMLA leave: severe migraine headaches
21
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
FMLA To Whom Does it Apply…
• Private employers with at least 50 employees within a 75 mile radius
• Public & governmental employer regardless of size
60 April 22, 2013
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC 61 April 22, 2013
WHO IS ELGIBLE FOR FMLA Employee Eligibility
• For an employee to be eligible for FMLA, the employee must: – Have worked for the employer at least 12 months
– Have worked at least 1,250 hours in the past 12 months and work at a site with at least 50 employees in a within 75 (surface mile) radius.
– Therefore, very small school districts may be subject to FMLA, but their employees may never be eligible!
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC 62 April 22, 2013
WHEN IS IT FMLA? Application
• When to apply FMLA to your employee’s absence: – When the serious health condition:
- is certified as a chronic condition that causes occasional periods of incapacitation (e.g. severe migraines) or
- incapacitates employee for 3 consecutive days
– FMLA should be triggered when the employee has a health-related unexcused absence lasting 3 or more days
22
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC 63 April 22, 2013
FMLA OR NOT?
Which of the following absences may qualify for FMLA?
A. Susan who is on maternity leave B. Luis who is called to active military duty C. Karen who has suffered a severe work comp injury D. All of the above E. None of the above
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
MANAGING LEAVES & FMLA Coordination is Key!
• Employers can (and should) run FMLA concurrent with sick leave – Employers may require
employees to use accrued paid leave during FMLA leaves - E.g. PTO, sick leave,
vacation or other paid leave
64 April 22, 2013

FML
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
MANAGING LEAVES & FMLA Coordination is Key!
• Employers can (and should) run FMLA concurrent with work comp leaves:
– Tighten up administration processes so that FMLA is appropriately tracked for work comp AND sick leave
65 April 22, 2013

MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
MANAGING LEAVES & FMLA 12 Weeks
FMLA provides a total of 12 weeks per year, regardless of the leave reason except:
• Military leaves are an exception to the 12 week rule

Sick Leave Workers
Compensation
FML 12
weeks
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC 67 April 22, 2013
FMLA Triggers
• Work Comp leaves and maternity leaves are easily-identifiable FMLA triggers – Example: Julie is absent due to a work comp claim for 3
weeks. Later that year, she has a baby. Since Julie already used 3 weeks in the last 12 months, she has 9 weeks remaining of FMLA
– Homework: be sure your work comp and non-work comp FMLA is tracked in a single bucket!

SICK LEAVE vs. SHORT TERM DISABILITY (STD)
Sick Leave • Unmanaged
• Viewed as entitled pay
• Meant for short illness
• Paid out as used or potentially at retirement
STD • Managed
• Emphasis on returning employee to work
• Intended to bring help sooner to employee
• Helps prevent claims from lingering
• Predictable expense
74 April 22, 2013
26
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
LITTLE STEPS TO FULL STD
• Advice to pay
• Using a TPA to administer absences over a certain length
• Usually needs to be paired with another product like LTD
75 April 22, 2013
MARSH & McLENNAN AGENCY LLC
SAME THING IN WORKERS COMP
• Get professional involved early
• Use managed care
• Use a return to work program
• Unlimited sick leave is not a good management

– Only 10% of people with low Social WB are thriving in Career WB; 49% of people thriving in Social WB also thriving in Career WB.
– People with high quality friendships at work are 7x as likely to be engaged in their work.
• Only 5% of workers strongly agree their organization helps them build stronger personal relationships.

WORK- LIFE BALANCE Some ideas could include: • Make it clear that work-life balance is a priority for the school
• Increase numbers of support staff to tackle teacher workload issues
• Introduce of a 'work-life balance week' in which (for example) – no after-school events or meetings are scheduled – staff are actively encouraged to stop work when the final bell goes – stress-busting activities are on offer at lunchtimes and after-school – free (healthy) refreshments are available at break
• Set realistic expectations and timescales for tasks asking staff to review the 'leverage' (ratio of impact made to effort expended) of any activity they plan to undertake
