Some absences are unavoidable, such as those causes by illness, job related injuries, and illness of family member and death of a family member. Although these situations create legitimate absences, some of employee uses them as absent. Therefore, supervisor must find effort to investigate when an employee's give a reason for being absence is legitimate and when it is not. For example, the employer should care about the subordinates at the workplace. The employee absenteeism should be reduced to make the organization have a good image to be viewed to the society. This is important because top managers in the organization want to show a good side of their organization to the viewer. As the sample, the employers need to playas the good leader to the employees. Sometimes, the good leader can be the sample or roles model to the subordinates to reduce the absenteeism.
