What is the Bradford Factor
The Bradford factor is a way of illustrating how disruptive frequent short-term absence, around weekends for example, can be, relative to occasional longer spells of absence. Bradford scores are a way of identifying individuals with serious absence and patterns of absence worthy of further investigation. It helps highlight causes for concern and often is one of the first steps in an attendance procedure. Take a Free

The Bradford factor calculation is as follows:
S x S x D = Bradford points score
where: S is the number of occasions of absence in the last 52 weeks and D is the total number of days absence in the last 52 weeks.
For example:
. one absence of 14 days is 14 points (ie 1 x 1 x 14)
. seven absences of two days each is 686 points (ie 7 x 7 x 14)
Although a rolling year is common, other timescales such as 13 weeks may be used, with the associated points total correspondingly lower.
