Myth: Productivity is lower
Fact: Productivity of impaired workers has consistently been shown to be equal to or higher than that of unimpaired workers.
Myth: Turnover rate is higher.

Myth: Absenteeism is greater.
Fact: Less absenteeism is shown, plus greater punctuality and dependability.
Myth: Higher costs will somehow result.

Fact: Where this is a factor, it can usually be overcome through appropriate adjustments, with little or no cost to the employer.
