Dec 2019 & Dec 2020: Adelphi - Home Office Human Resources Record System.

Dec 2021: Metis - Home Office Human Capital Management System.

Period Covered: 1st January to 31st December each year.

Employee Coverage: In line with Cabinet Office guidelines on sickness absence reporting, the data is based on FTE of paid civil servants who had a sickness absence during the period covered.

On the question relating to 'other reasons' this could cover a range of situations, would require clarification but would probably only be obtained by disproportionate effort.
