1 Introduction of the study The problem of Absenteeism in Indian Industries is a complex socio-economic problem for which several factors are involved both Internal and External to the organization. Absenteeism is a very intricate problem for the Industry, which requires a very comprehensive, and integrated approach and which cannot be solved through efforts either by punishments disciplinary measures alone. The Industrial is rather a creation of the social set up. The cure for Absenteeism, therefore, lays not much in a readjustment of man to the social conditions but principally is a readjustment of the social condition to the need of man.

The Human Resource Management has definite scientific discipline; has to come forefront in maintaining and control over Absenteeism and Labour Turn Over various studies has been conducted to find out the causes of absenteeism problem which have an effect over labour force of the organization.At the national level, Absenteeism has become a perceptual problem of Indian Industries, there by affecting the economy of the nation from Industrial point of view the administration of Industrial enterprises are called about this problem. Absenteeism is a cancerous attitude which must be checked and 30% of the Labour Court Cases are arising out of this reason. It does not mean the employees should come to the factory daily without absence but they are eligible to take leave that is being afforded by the management.The problem of Absenteeism is actually stems up only when the employees take more number of leave days exceeding their limits and its ultimately results in loss pay as their total salary deducts. Absenteeism breads further Absenteeism is stability and frittering away of energy. Moreover when Absenteeism becomes a habit, there is not only a lowering of morale but

also distinct loss of skill and efficiency. Interest in the occupation is decreased and on returning to work after his leave, the worker finds it difficult to get started and regain his old stride. His stability of work performance at high place is affected. Irregular attendance has become a common phenomenon in heavy Industries and it is really a very hard task for the management to make out the reason underlying it and also formulate efficient any effective step so as to have a control over his economic disorder. This study is an effort to analyze the causes for the Absenteeism among the employees and try to reduce the problem with the valuable suggestions

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE History The process of making sugar by evaporation juice from sugarcane developed in India around 500BC. Sugarcane, a tropical grass, probably originated in New Guinea. Prehistoric times its culture spread throughout the pacific islands and into India. By 200BC producers in china had begun to grow it too. Westerners learned if sugarcane in the course of military expeditions into India. Nachos, one of Alexander the Gretas commanders, described it as a reed that gives honey without bees. Originally, people chewed the cane raw to extract its sweetness. Sugar refining developed in south Asia, the Middle East and china, where sugar became a staple of cooking and desserts. Early refining methods involved grinding or pounding the cane in order to extract the juice, and then boiling down the juice or drying it in the sum to yield sugary that resembled gravel. The Sandrit word for sugar (Sharkara0, also means gravel. Similarly, the Chinese use the term gravel sugar (Traditional Chinese) for table sugar. Sugar later spread to other areas of the world through trade. Measuring Sugar Content Dissolved sugar content Scientists use degrees Brix (symbol Bx), introduced by Antoine Brix, as units of measurement of the mass ratio of dissolved substance to water in a liquid. A 250 Bx sucrose solution has 25 grams of sucrose sugar per 100 grams of liquid. Or to put it another way, 25 grams sucrose sugar a d 75 grams of water exist in the 100 grams of solutions. An infrared Brix sensor measures the vibration frequency of the sugar molecules, giving Brix degrees measurement. This does not equate, to Brix degrees from a density of refractive index measurement because it will specifically measure dissolved sugar concentration instead of all dissolved solids. When using a refract meter, (RDS). One might spead of a liquid as having 20 Bx RDS. This referws of percentage by weight of total dried solids and, although not technically the same as Brix degrees through an infrared method renders an accurate measurement of sucrose content, since sucrose in fact forms the majority of dried solids. The advent of in-line infrared Brix measurement sensors has made measuring the amount of dissolved sugar in products economical using

a direct measurement.

The usual method of measuring the purity of sugars, i.e.the

sucrose content, is by polarizer-the rotation of plane polarized light by a solution of sugar. Sugar economics Historically one of the most widely - traded commodities in the world, sugar accounts for around 2% of the global dry cargo market. International sugar prices show great volatility,ranging from around 3 to over 60 cents per pound in the past 50. Of the worlds 180 odd countries, around 100 produce sugar from beet or cane, a few more refine raw sugar to produce white sugar, and all countries consume sugar. Consumption of sugar ranges from around 3 kilometers per person per annum in Ethiopia to around 40kg/person/yr in Belgium. Consumption per capita rises with income per capita until it reaches a plateau of around 35kg per person per year in middle income countries. Many countries subsidize sugar-production heavily. The European Union, the States, Japan and many developing countries subsidize domestic production and maintain high tariffs on imports. Sugar prices in these countries have often exceeded prices on the international market by up to three times; today with world market sugar futures prices currently strong, such prices typically exceed world prices by two times. Within international trade bodies, especially in the world trade organization the G20 countries led by Brazil have long argued that because these sugar markets essentially exculde cane-sugar imports, the G20 sugar-producers receive lower than there would under free trade. While both the European union and united states maintain trade agreements whereby certain developing and lee-developed countries (LDCs) can sell certain quantities of sugar into their markets, free of the usual import tariffs, countries outside these preferred trade regimes have complained that these. In 2004, the WTO sided with a group of can-sugar exporting nations (led by Brazil) and urled the EU Sugar-regime and the accompanying ACP-EU sugar protocol (whether by a group African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries receive preferential access to the European sugar market) illegal. In response to this and to other rulings of the WTO, and owing to internal pressures on the EU sugar regime, the European Commission proposed on 22 june 2005 a radical reform of the EU sugar regime, cutting pruces by 39% and eliminating all EU sugar exports. The African, Caribbean, Pacific and Least developed country sugar exports reached with dismay to the EU sugar proposals, arguing for a fairer reform of the EU regime which would foster development Goals. On 25 November 2005 the council of

the EU agreed to cut EU sugar prices by 36% as from 2009. It now seems (citation needed) that the U.S sugar program could become the next target for reform. Small quanities of sugar, especially specially grades of sugar, reach the market as fair trade commodities; the fair-trade system produces and sells these products with the understanding that a larger than-usual fraction of the revenue will support small farmers in the developing world. However, while the fair-trade foundation offers premium of USD 60.00 per tones to small program and the ACP sugar protocol offer premiums of around USD 400.00 per tones above world market prices.

1.2.1 COMPANY PROFILE The kallakurichi CSM is located at Moongilthurpattu I.I.839, Sankarapuram Taluk Villupuram District Tamilnadu.

3.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE Earlier studies

Michael R.frone of research Institute of Addictions, state university of New York at Buffalo made a related study on obesity in absenteeism. He found that obese was positively related to increased absenteeism. He concluded that the relation mental obesity to absenteeism was fully mediated by poor physical health.1 Absenteeism in Indian Industry is not a new phenomenon. The Royal Commission on Labour reported that High Absenteeism prevails among industrial labour mainly due to their Rural Orientation.2 American Authors hold the view of that absenteeism is due to the internal administration of an Organization, According to them, The work milieu is very important since a large part of the workers daily is spent there.3 Ms.Yamini Priya S S, conducted a research on A Study on Absenteeism at Ambattur clothing limited, has found that worker were satisfied with all the facilities provided by the company best even then they were absent to their job due personal factors.4

Ms.Yamini Priya S S, conducted a research on A Study on Absenteeism at Ambattur clothing limited Anna University.

ABSENTEEISM Absenteeism has been variously defined by different author. According to

Websters dictionary, Absenteeism is the practice or habit of being an absentee, and an absentee is one who habitually stays away. According to the labour bureau, simla. Absenteeism is the total man shifts lost because of absences as a percentage of the total number of man shifts scheduled to work.

In other words it signifies the absence of and employee from work when he is scheduled to be at work; it is unauthorized, unexplained, avoidable, and willful absence from work. For calculating the rate of Absenteeism, two facts are taken into consideration-the number of persons scheduled to work and the number actually present. A worker who reports for any part of a shift is to be considered present. An employee is to be considered scheduled to work when the employer has work available and the employee is aware of it, and when the employer has no reason to expect, well in advance, that the employee will not be available for work at the specialized time. Any employee may stay away from work if he has taken leave, to which he is entitled, or on the ground of sickness or some accident, or without any previous sanction of leave. Thus absence may be authorized or unauthorized, willful or caused by circumstances beyond ones control. FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ABSENTEEISM Three types of factors 1. Personal factors 2. Organizational factors 3. External factors

PERSONAL FACTORS Personal factors play an important role in the study of absenteeism. This must be given importance. The Personal factors related to employees behavior and some of the personal factors are age, length of service, marital status and responsibility, personal habits, indebtedness, frequency of sickness, etc. ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS Organizational factors have deep influence over absenteeism. Some of the factors are like degree of strain, working conditions, job dissatisfaction and challenge, recruitment policy, Induction, placement, hosing, transport, etc. EXTERNAL FACTORS These factors are external to the company. They are both controllable and uncontrollable. This factor speaks about employees social interest. Some of the external factors are harvest season, participation in religious functions, festival, climate, etc.

REASONS FOR ABSENTEEISM Nature of Work Unsuitable Working Condition Lack of provision for general welfare inadequate leave facilities Improper and unrealistic personnel policies Absence of transport facilities Reasons due to bonafide emergencies Social and religious ceremonies Attraction village life Alcoholism and gambling habits Poor control Medical facilities at the time of accidents Unsatisfactory jobs.

EFFECTS OF ABSENTEEISM
Normal work flow in the factory is disturbed Overall production in the factory goes down. Over time allowance will increase considerably because of higher Absenteeism Causal workers may be employed to meet production schedules, such Workers are not trained properly. Habitual absentees may be removed from services causing them great. hardship MEASURES TO CONTROL ABSENTEEISM Adoption of a well defined recruitment procedure Provision of healthful and hygienic working conditions.

Motivation to workers welfare and social measures. Liberal grant leave. Provision of reasonable wage and allowance and job security. Cordial relationship between supervisors and workers. Development of workers education. Provision of transport and housing facilities.

As regards measures to be adopted to remedy the situation, the labour investigation committee, 1946 was of the opinion that proper conditions of work in the factory adequate wages, protection from accidents leave for rest and recreation constitute the effective means of reducing absenteeism. The personal management should envisage notification, especially in cases of sickness when the duration of absence is likely to be long and incase of personal and family circumstances.

The problem of Absenteeism in Indian Industries is a complex socio-economic problem for which several factors are involved both Internal and External to the organization. Absenteeism is a very intricate problem for the Industry, which requires a very comprehensive, and integrated approach and which cannot be solved through efforts either by punishments disciplinary measures alone. The Industrial is rather a creation of the social set up. The cure for Absenteeism, therefore, lays not much in a readjustment of man to the social conditions but principally is a readjustment of the social condition to the need of man. This project is an attempt to study absent among the employees. The

development, progress and prosperity of any organization depend upon labour turnover, regular attendance of employees in an establishment in a symptom for the proper functioning of the organization. On account of constant absence of workers in establishments either on political reasons or otherwise, immerable man-days are lost. This tells upon the economy of not only the industry but also the nation.
