Sickness Absenteeism is a major problem among organizations and healthcare units, causing loss of workhours and reduced productivity in workplaces. Previous studies have shown that several factors are associated with sickness Absenteeism, including social conditions, workplace/organizational conditions, and employees' characteristics.

The present study was designed to investigate sickness Absenteeism in the employees of an auto plant in order to evaluate the Occupational health of the employees based on the basic indicators of Absenteeism. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was organized in 2016 to evaluate the intensity of sickness Absenteeism and its associated factors among auto plant employees in Tehran, Iran. Stratified sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the participants. Data was collected from questionnaires, medical records, and employees' attendance system. Multivariable analyses were employed to investigate the effect of the explanatory variables on the dependent variable. The frequency of medical Absenteeism among employees was 11. 3%. According to the results, 26. 8% of medical Absenteeism was more than 15 days. Smoking and workplace groups were significantly associated with sickness Absenteeism. Our study found that smoking and working in the Trunk 1 Department of the auto plant were significant risk factors for sickness absence among employees.
