Resum:	The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of sickness presenteeism (SP), its associated factors and the reasons given for SP episodes, among the overall salaried population and excluding the 'healthy' workers. Population-based cross-sectional study. Salaried population in Spain. Data were obtained from the third Spanish Psychosocial Risks Survey (2016), carried out between October and December 2016, n=1615. Self-reported episodes of SP and their reasons. 23. 0% (95% CI 19. 2 to 26. 8) of the workers exhibit SP, whereas among those manifesting having had some health problem in the preceding year, the figure was 53. 0% (95% CI 46. 9 to 59. 1). The factors associated with SP when we study all workers are age, seniority, salary structure, working more than 48 hours, the contribution of worker's wage to the total household income and downsizing; factors among the 'unhealthy' workers are working more than 48 hours and not having a contract. The most common reason for SP is 'did not want to burden my colleagues', 45. 7% (95% CI 37. 3 to 54. 4), whereas 'I could not afford it for economic reasons' ranked third, 35. 9% (29. 4% to 42. 9%), and 27. 5% (21. 3% to 34. 6%) of the workers report 'worried about being laid off' as a reason for going to work despite being ill. The estimated frequency of SP in Spain is lower than certain other countries, such as the Scandinavian countries. The factors associated vary depending on the population analysed (all workers or excluding 'healthy' workers). The reason 'I was worried about being laid off' was much more common than the estimates for Sweden or Norway.
