Someone who has multple episodes of days off, say one day off one week and two days off another and then one more a week later, they will trigger targets which leads to the first stage of action, they will reach this much quicker than say someone who has a full 28 days off (or four weeks) because the 28 full days off are just one episode. Where as the multiple days off are treated as individual episodes and it's a simple form of multiplying the episodes which gives a high score.
The Bradford Factor is there to trap those who take the Mickey and have a poor attendance record. The problem is, the BF can also trap those who are genuinely ill. So it's good for businesses trying to discourage high staff sickness but not so kind on the employee who is genuinely ill.
