Despite Super Bowl Sunday not being a federal holiday, many still make the Monday after a holiday.
According to USA TODAY last year, The Harris Poll for The Workforce Institute at UKG coined the term "Super Bowl flu," in response to the millions who call out of work after the big game. They estimated that nearly 16.5 million employees across the U.S. planned to miss work the day after Super Bowl 59, according to a survey of 1,192 Americans.
They also found that as many as 14.5 million employed U.S. adults have called in sick to work when they weren't actually sick.
An estimated 28% of employees say they will be less productive on that day. Outplacement company Challenger, Gray & Christmas previously estimated lost productivity from absent and distracted workers on Super Bowl Monday at $6.5 billion.
