Sickleave at Dutch companies

CBS (Statistics Netherlands)

  • On average, every Dutch worker takes 5 sick days off for every 100 days of work
  • This is 5% of total work time

ArboNed

  • 1 sick day in the Netherlands costs the company 300 Euros (including insurances, lost productivity, doctor consultation, etc.)

At an office with 80 employees, this means…

260 working days – 25 vacation days = 235 working days
235 working days / 100 work days = 2.35 factor
2.35 factor * 5 sick days = 11.75 sick days per year (per person)
11.75 sick days * €300 = € 3,525 per person sick cost
So € 3,525 * 80 people = €282k in expenses

Each reduced day saves approximately €56.400
