The Bradford factor scores or sickness scale are based on the frequency and length of an employee’s absence during a defined period, usually 52 weeks.
To setup the sickness types to be included in the Bradford factor calculation, select or create a new booking type in Care Provider Setup >> Booking Types.
Under Staff – Non-Contact Time, when Absence is selected, set Include in Bradford Factor to “Yes”. This will ensure that the booking type will be included in the calculation or the Factor.
The calculation takes into account the previous 52 weeks leading up to the current date when the report in viewed.
B = S² x D
Where:
B = Bradford factor score
S = total number of spells (instances) of absence for that individual in the given period
D = total number of days the individual was absent during the given period
The Bradford Factor Report will show in the employee's record under the Summary Dashboards dropdown.
You can choose to set thresholds at which Bradford factor scores are deemed to be problematic and require interventions. The Thresholds have been set with 3 default colour indicators: red, amber, and green with the corresponding score set.
