Note 1: This data includes both paid and unpaid sick leave.
It captures all leave taken and recorded in National Defence’s personnel management system.
Month and year data were taken from the first day of the leave (since a period of leave can cross into subsequent months and years).
Age data depends on an accurate date of birth in the personnel management system.
Note 2: The age ranges requested (18-30, 30-45, 45-65) overlapped at ages 30 and 45, resulting in double counting of employees. Age ranges were restructured as 18-29, 30-44, and 45-65 to ensure accurate and consistent totals.
