A transversal, descriptive and quantitative study was conducted on absenteeism and prevalence of reasons for sick-leaves in a state Bank in the State of Minas Gerais, between 1998 and 2003. The sample comprised 7499 employees of this Bank. The statistical pack used for data edition and analysis was the SPSS (Statistical Pack for Social Science) version 11.1. This study adopted the recommendations by the International Society of Occupational Healths Absenteeism Committee, and included frequency rates, gravity, absenteeism percentage and mean duration of leaves, besides analyzing the most frequent causes for such leaves, particularly Mental and Behavioral disorders and Musculoskeletal diseases. During the period studied, the number of leaves grew, unlike the number of days on leave. The samples remained practically unchanged, around 7500; the number of leaves increased, unlike the number of days off work. The rates of absenteeism fell throughout the study, except for the frequency rate. Sociodemographic factors affected the number and quantity of days off work, when considered individually, except for age range and length of time with the company, whose statistical meanings were consistent when analyzedindividually or as a group. Women were responsible both for a larger number of days off (58%) and leaves (57%). Married people had the most leaves, both in number of events and in the number of days. Educational level did not have a significant influence. However, people in junior positions, such as clerks, assistants and assessors were thosewho had leaves more often and for longer periods of time. In spite of a reduction in the number of days off, the greatest concentration was on short-length leaves (up to 15 days), and on leaves over 90 days. Musculoskeletal and conjunctive tissue diseases were the maincauses for leaves, folowed by the Mental and Behavioral disorders. The percentile for the other groups that caused leaves were not high if compared to the others; they were responsible for only 25% of the number of days off. Considering the evolution of prevalence rates of the leave causes by Musculoskeletal diseases and Mental and Behavioral disorders in the period, besides the increase in the Mental and Behavioral number of leaves; as well as their percentile representation within each year, its been noted an indicative of change in sicking profile; the Mental and Behavioral disorders are becoming predominat. Its been still noted the absense of recognition of the causal connection among Mental and Behavioral disorders by the company. The analysis of theprofile of absenteeism led to the hypothesis that the internal policy adopted by the company, whether it is for its very definitions, for the external influence of the Ministries of Labor and Employment, by means of its rules and regulations, or the Social Service, with its contradictory measures in the granting of leaves and retirement, might haveaffected these changes. Despite a fall in the rates of absenteesm in the Bank studied, they are still significant and demand a better understanding of its determiners so that more consistent health policies are developed.
