“…These determinants include health status, gender, income level, working conditions, and sickness insurance. Economic research on absenteeism can be grouped into three categories (Afsa and Givord, ). The simplest of these models is the classic work‐leisure trade‐off model (Allen, ).…”

“…Health‐related absenteeism is no longer an individual choice (work‐leisure trade‐off; effort function) but can be the result of deteriorating health status, either due to illness or difficult working conditions (Ose, ). Recent studies (Afsa and Givord, ) have effectively underlined the significant role of working conditions in employee absenteeism. Grignon and Renaud () dissociate sick leave, which is the result of employees’ choices ( ex post moral hazard), from absenteeism due to working conditions, which is the responsibility of the employer, by controlling for health status ( ex ante moral hazard).…”

We take into account complementary sick leave compensation paid by the employer, in addition to Social Security, to re-examine the link between non-work-related sickness absence and its compensation. We use matched employer-employee panel data based on the period 2005-2008 containing information on employees' earnings, on their employers, their sick leave and their health care expenditure and a new data source describing the precise compensation scheme for each CBA. We consider three different sets of compensation variables and three different outputs and find each time a positive relationship between compensation and absence, except for executives for whom it is not significant.We would like to thank all those who participated in the seminars held by the INSEE Department of Economic Studies and the research seminar on work absences held on the 20th of May 2014 and organized by IRDES and DREES. We would like to especially thank Laurent Davezies, S ebastien Roux and Corinne Prost for useful comments and suggestions that contributed to enriching our work. We would also like to thank the participants of the TEPP 2014, SOLE 2014, EALE 2014, and ESPE 2015 conferences for their numerous comments, Paul Dourgnon and the two anonymous reviewers. We remain entirely responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may remain.

“…Using micro-data from the EU LFS 32 for 28 countries, Livanos and Zangelidis (2013) showed that a higher proportion of disabled persons (inactive and unemployed individuals) is associated to lower sickness absence, probably due to the pressure active people may experience. Afsa and Givord (2009), using French data, show that a high percentage of absenteeism among unskilled workers is, in fact, due to irregular working hours. Chaupain-Guillot and Guillot (op.…”

Economists have traditionally been very cautious when studying the interaction between employment and health because of the two-way causal relationship between these two variables: health status influences the probability of being employed and, at the same time, working affects the health status. Because these two variables are determined simultaneously, researchers control endogeneity skews (e.g., reverse causality, omitted variables) when conducting empirical analysis. With these caveats in mind, the literature finds that a favourable work environment and high job security lead to better health conditions. Being employed with appropriate working conditions plays a protective role on physical health and psychiatric disorders. By contrast, non-employment and retirement are generally worse for mental health than employment, and overemployment has a negative effect on health. These findings stress the importance of employment and of adequate working conditions for the health of workers. In this context, it is a concern that a significant proportion of European workers (29 %) would like to work fewer hours because unwanted long hours are likely to signal a poor level of job satisfaction and inadequate working conditions, with detrimental effects on health. Thus, in Europe, labour-market policy has increasingly paid attention to job sustainability and job satisfaction. The literature clearly invites employers to take better account of the worker preferences when setting the number of hours worked. Overall, a specific "flexicurity" (combination of high employment protection, job satisfaction and active labour-market policies) is likely to have a positive effect on health.

This study evaluates the impact of the French reform of 11 January 2008 in the private sector, which modified the share of sick leave paid by the employer in addition to the social security benefit. The reform is comprised of two parts: the waiting period until complementary payment is made by the employer, reduced from ten to seven days; and the minimum required tenure to be eligible, reduced from three years to one year. In this study, we used the administrative panel data (Hygie) from 2006 to 2010 along with a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) database. The latter was constructed by the authors in order to collect the parameters of complementary benefit for sick leave. We examined separately the effects of the waiting period part and the tenure part of the reform, using a difference-in-differences strategy with matching. When the waiting period is reduced, the number of sick days' increases significantly (+ 0.5 days). When the minimum tenure requirement is reduced, there is more impact on sick leave (+ 0.6 days on the number of sick days and + 0.9 pp on sickness probability). The effects of sick pay reform are different between men and women. The waiting part of the reform significantly increased the annual number of sick leave days and the frequency of sick leave for men, while the Tenure part of the reform has significant impact only for women.
