Abstract: We examine a novel pattern of workplace sickness absenteeism for job-to-job movers, covering the periods before and after their job transitions. The movers display two opposite changes of absenteeism—an upward and a downward spike before and after job change. The estimates indicate a behavioural effect related to differences in financial incentives for job movers.
