If you would like to be automatically notified when an employee's Bradford Factor score reaches a certain number indicating problematic absenteeism, you can create a workflow to address absences before the need for disciplinary action.

1. Log in to Employment Hero.
2. On the left-hand side menu, click on Workflows.
3. Click on the Leave tile.
   
4. Click on the Notify when Bradford Factor score exceeds a specified threshold tile.

6. If you want to edit the workflows, click on the purple text to edit the action. 
7. Click on Save Flow and Publish.
   

This workflow will notify admins when Bradford Factor scores reach a certain threshold. This will allow you to address absenteeism prior to it becoming a problem.

If you have implemented the above workflow to receive a notification one an employee's Bradford Factor score reaches a certain threshold, see the below table for the notification the account admin will receive at each score.

If you use the Bradford factor workflow as it is created in-platform, then the below table will show you the notifications you will receive and when. Please note that you can edit this workflow to align with your company's policies. 

The Bradford Formula is composed of two elements: the total number of absence instances or spells over a set period of time (S) and the total number of days the individual was absent during the given period (B).

• S stands for spells, which are the number of occasions an employee was absent within a 52-week period
• D is the total number of days of absence within that same period
• B stands for the resulting Bradford Factor

The Bradford score is calculated with the formula:

S x S x D = B

 If an employee was absent for 10 days over the course of a 52-week period and all of these absence days occurred in one block. The Number of absent days in the last 12 months = 10 days and Total absences in last 12 months = 1. So the Bradford Factor would be (1 x 1) x 10 = 10

If an employee is absent twice in one year for five days at a time. The Number of absent days in the last 12 months = 10 days and Total absences in last 12 months = 2. So the Bradford Factor would be (2 × 2) x 10 = 40 If an employee is absent 10 times in 52 weeks for one day at a time, the Number of absent days in the last 12 months = 10 days and Total absences in the last 12 months = 10. So their Bradford Factor score is: (10 × 10) x 10 = 1,000

Yes it can. If you want to adjust an employee's sick leave to include partial days taken, follow the below instructions.
