Employees work 8 hours a day (40 hours per week) for 245 days out of the year.
To manage absentee related issues and problems when employees do not show up to work, 45 supervisors spend, on average, 40 minutes per day, for the 245 days they work per year addressing these matters. The average salary of this group is $29.35 per hour.
