This thesis explores how different economic activities and gender affect different indicators of sick leave in Slovenia. The analysis is based on publicly available data from the National institute of Public Health for the period between the years 2008 and 2017. Three indicators were used to determine the impact on the sick leave, namely, lost calendar days per employee, the number of cases per 100 employees, and average duration of one absence. Agriculture, forestry and fishing, mining and quarrying, financial and insurance activities, real estate activities, public administration and defence, compulsory social security, and human health and social work activities are economic activities that are in the top 10% in terms of average and variance of the indicators. There was also a difference in the characteristics of the sick leave between women and men. Women had more lost calendar days per employee and a greater number of cases per 100 employees than men. Men had longer average duration of one absence. In general, during this period, the number of lost days per employee remained approximately the same, the number of cases per 100 employees increased, and the average duration of one absence decreased.
