Sažetak
The aim of this article is to determine the trends in absenteeism from 2000 to 2012 in Croatia and to examine if the observed
trends could be related to the regulations implemented to keep the absenteeism on low level. In Croatia only family
doctors keep the responsibility for sick leave and were always been targeted by many regulations to keep absenteeism on
appropriate level. A study was observational and retrospective based on the official CHIF data available from the web-
-page. Although the average number of sick leave days had been bisected (from 30.58 to 15.08 days per patient) sick leave
rate only slightly fell down (from 3.32% to 3.11%). It seems that the restrictive measures did not significantly affect the
number of sick leave cases. Such a results and other European research studies indicates that without reduction of the institutional
rights there will be no reducing of sick leave rates.
