absenteeism
Habitual workplace absence
Absenteeism is the practice of regularly staying away from work or school without good reason.
The word implies a pattern rather than occasional absence: The company's absenteeism rate spiked during flu season.
It carries a note of disapproval—absenteeism is a problem to be addressed, not merely a fact to be noted.
