Bands

Minimal Illness-Related Work Impairment

Expressions activating this band contain little to no clear linkage between illness and disruption of work or usual role functioning, often reflecting unrelated topics or only very indirect references to distress, finances, appearance, or general circumstances.

Mild Illness-Related Work Impairment

Expressions activating this band describe feeling ill, sore, itchy, or otherwise physically affected in ways that shorten activity periods or make work harder, while role participation is still largely maintained. The emphasis is on symptoms interfering with functioning rather than full withdrawal from duties.

Moderate Illness-Related Work Impairment

Expressions activating this band describe recurrent or salient sickness that leads to missed obligations, absence, or nonparticipation, including staying away from work or other expected activities because of health-related discomfort or illness.

High Illness-Related Work Impairment

Expressions activating this band describe health problems as a direct reason for leaving work, being unable to work, or missing substantial role obligations, while also highlighting the threshold at which a person considers themselves too sick to attend.

Severe Illness-Related Work Impairment

Expressions activating this band describe pronounced disruption of employment from illness, such as staying home sick, missing multiple workdays, leaving a job because of a health problem, or finding work difficult for health-related reasons.
