Presenteeism, a contradiction to absenteeism is the act of showing to work even when they are not fit to do so. High workload, company’s reward on zero absence, lack of support and employment risk are some of the determining factors identified to affect presenteeism intention among employees. The majority of literature in presenteeism are focusing on employees in specific industry, such as in education, hospitality, medical and banking, as it is claimed that presenteeism usually happened among employees who need to deal with people. The symptoms that have been tested for presenteeism usually is headache, flu, and fever. However, there is a lack of literature to see the presenteeism intention among employees who really suffered health problems and showing such symptoms on regular basis. Employees with chronic such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), endometriosis, fibromyalgia, HIV infection, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), arthritis, asthma, and thyroid disease are usually showing symptoms such as prolong fever, fatigue and flu. Therefore, this paper investigated presenteeism intention among employees with SLE illness and the factors influencing the presenteeism.
