Correct Answer
A. 4 separate occurrences of absence and/or a total of 10 working days of absence in a rolling twelve month period, pro-rated for part-time staff.Explanation
The trigger point that CGI has established against which we can measure attendance levels is 4 separate occurrences of absence and/or a total of 10 working days of absence in a rolling twelve month period, pro-rated for part-time staff.
