Workforce analyst Kronos Incorporated investigated the claim that the Monday following the Super Bowl is one of the most frequently called-off days of the year. A 2008 survey indicated that 1.5 million employed Americans would call in sick the day after the game, costing employers hundreds of millions in lost productivity (and previous surveys indicated that more people actually call off than admit on planning to do so). The results aren't particularly surprising -- 20% of people admit to calling in sick even if they actually aren't, and Mondays and Fridays are the most popular days to do so.
