Sidenor 2020 Corporate Report

62 Corporate Report 2020 | People Absenteeism rate Sidenor uses the most prudent version of this concept, considering each absence from work as absenteeism, including absences resulting from occupational or non- occupational accidents, long- term sick leaves or maternity or paternity leaves, except holidays. In 2020, a year which was particularly impacted by COVID-19 in all our facilities, the absenteeism rate reached 11.2%, with a global computation of 306,598 hours (including 14,072 hours corresponding to paternity and maternity leaves). In 2019, it amounted to 8.8%, with a global computation of 323,629 hours (including 21,091 hours corresponding to paternity and maternity leaves). Sidenor employs nine people who present some form of disability (they were 11 in 2019) and, as a demonstration of our commitment to diversified employment, we work together with special employment centres in order to promote social integration policies. In 2019, this commitment was officially recognised, as we were awarded the certificate of compliance with Royal Decree 364/2005 of April 8th. Among these special employment centres are the Fundación Lantegi Batuak, Taller Usoa Lantegia, Soemca Empleo S.L and Alares Social, S.A. Number of dismissals Four dismissals on disciplinary grounds occurred during 2020, one more than in 2019.
