THE ABSENCE CONSEQUENCES OF OVERTIME IN THE TRANSIT INDUSTRY

This article studies the absence consequences of overtime in the transit industry through a disaggregate model of absence. The model was estimated with panel data of transit operators to test the hypothesis that widespread availability of overtime may induce absence. The results suggest that absence is more a habit than the result of a decision process based on past overtime worked.
