• the characteristics of people experiencing long-term sickness absence (LTSA) (sickness absence lasting more than 4 weeks)
• the difference in employment retention rates experienced by disabled and non-disabled people and how these vary by the employer an individual works for and the type of work they do
• how the provision of sick pay and occupational health vary according to the employer an individual works for and the type of job they do
