The Bradford Factor measures how disruptive frequent short absences are to an organization.

It focuses on multiple absence spells over a 12-month rolling period, rather than long single absences (e.g., flu or dengue). It helps identify habitual absenteeism.

Formula:
Bradford Factor = S × S × D

• S = Number of absence spells

• D = Total days absent

It can be applied to any leave type (not just medical leave) when creating a leave type.

Bradford Factor Threshold

• Each company defines its own threshold values

• If an employee’s score exceeds a threshold, email notifications are triggered

• Notification recipients can be set in:
  Admin → Configuration → Email Subscriptions

Step 1 – Select Leave → Configure → Bradford Factor Threshold from the Main Menu. Bradford Factor Threshold screen will appear.

Step 2 - Click the "+ Add BradFord Factor Threshold" button. Once you proceed, the following screen will appear.
