  1. Note: N = 809. The hazard rate models are estimated simultaneously. See Table 2 for more information about the variables. S.E. between brackets. Significance levels: ***1%, **5%, *10%. All equations include a dummy variable (not shown) that equal 1 when information about company size (56 persons) is missing. The return-to-work equations also include a dummy variables (not shown) that equal 1 when information about seniority (32 persons) is missing. a): Multiplied with 100. b): Multiplied with 10. c): Baseline hazard periods, accommodated work: period 1: 3 months, period 2: 4–5 months, period 3: 6–8 months, period 4: >9 months. d): The variable was excluded from the model because it was highly insignificant. Baseline hazard periods, non-accommodated work: period 1: 3 months, period 2: 4 months, period 3: 5–7 months, period 4: >8 months. Baseline hazard periods, new employer: period 1: 3–5 months, period 2: 6–9 months, period 3: 10–14 months, period 4: >15 months. Baseline hazard periods, employment duration: period 1: 1–7 months, period 2: >8 months.
