The Bradford Factor is calculated as follows: B = S² x D
Where:
B is the Bradford Factor score.
S is the total number of closed absences, for an individual over a set period.
D is the total number of days of absence of that individual over the same set period.
The set period is a year from the date entered.
For example, this is how 10 days absence could be shown:
1 instance of absence with a duration of ten days (1 x 1 x 10) = 10 points.
3 instances of absence; one of one, one of three and one of six days (3 x 3 x 10) = 90 points.
5 instances of absence; each of two days (5 x 5 x 10) = 250 points.
10 instances of absence; each of one day (10 x 10 x 10) = 1000 points.
