At a previous workplace, they used the Bradford Factor (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford_Factor) to automatically flag to managers when staff absences were a concern. It's an ableist HR management formula that discriminates against certain long-term disabilities. @humanworkplace/1350960214128943106

Bradford detects shorter but more frequent periods of absence so the way to 'game' it is to make sure to take longer sickness absences whenever you are sick i.e. take a few more days to recover than you ordinarily would.
