Absenteeism
How much does employee absenteeism cost?
According to ‘Absenteeism: The Bottom-Line Killer’, by Circadian, unscheduled absenteeism costs roughly $3,600 per year for each hourly worker. Additionally, it also costs roughly $2,650 each year for salaried employees. Feb 1, 2021
What does presenteeism cost?
The total cost of employee health to U.S. employers shows that only about 30 percent is attributed to direct medical care and pharmaceutical costs, usually in the form of premiums an employer pays to an insurer. Another nine percent is associated with short- and long-term disability and worker’s compensation.
Just 6 percent is the result of absenteeism. The overwhelming majority of the cost — 60 percent — is attributed to health-related lost productivity caused by presenteeism. Berkshire Eagle Jan. 17, 2020

Both absenteeism and presenteeism are results of pain.
Owip Physicians reduce the largest cost and biggest problem companies face related to their workers’ health; work-related pain.
Your Needs
The most effective technique we use is called Stecco Fascial Manipulation (FM). FM is taught to and delivered only by doctors, and there are only about 200 of us trained and practicing in the US. FM is a soft tissue technique from Italy that is extremely useful in treating musculoskeletal pain and breakdown, while still falling within OSHA’s category of massage. That bears repeating. FM is a treatment by doctors that OSHA considers massage!
Because of this, it falls outside their “recordables” definition. OSHA considers it first aid. This cannot be overstated. One of the government’s most invasive and powerful agencies does not want to know about the work we do onsite based on how it categorizes the treatment. Owip Physicians operate below their radar, yet the effects we produce are plainly evident and highly desired by the companies we serve.
About Us
Dr. Jon P. Chavez, DC
Founder/CEO OWIP Physicians
Doctor Jon has been in practice over two decades and has taken his experience out of the clinic and into the workforce. He started Owip Physicians to fill the need that companies have to care for their workers as a way of keeping costs down.
Owip Physicians represent an investment in workers rather than an expenditure; with a multitude of benefits. Most importantly, ridding your workforce of pain.
Owip Physicians are a group of doctors with post-graduate training directed at identifying and treating specific musculoskeletal conditions; namely, repetitive strain injury and its subsequent breakdown of tissue.
Simply put, we get rid of work-related pain.
Work-related pain and its effects are costly and common to nearly all companies. Employees are aging; and like all mechanical things, they are wearing out.
Age and repetitive motion cause wear and breakdown of machinery in your facility; and they do the same to your workforce, but with the addition of pain. Pain diminishes employee productivity. It results in lost workdays, low productivity, and increases the risk of OSHA recordables.

The bottom line is this: pain affects your bottom line! Absenteeism leaves holes that must be filled, while presenteeism makes your workforce less efficient.
Owip Physicians specialize in fixing your company’s biggest cost and most important asset; your employees. Even morale improves when employees see their company cares enough to provide doctors to care for them.
