Managers trace the upsurge in absenteeism to a law, passed last June, forbidding company representatives from checking up at the home of employees who take off because of "illness." To collect his sick pay, which in the auto industry averages 50% of normal wages, a worker must now present only a doctor's certification that he has been ill.
