Monday, February 6, 2012 is a bittersweet day for employers across New York and elsewhere. Just hours earlier, their employees watched the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. For these employers, however, many of their employees won’t be at work Monday morning. The reason? In a 2008 survey conducted by The Workforce Institute at Kronos Incorporated, 1.5 million people will call in sick to work and an additional 4.4 million will call in late. Outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas has put worker lost productivity from the Super Bowl at more than $820 million.
