20% of workers do not take full holiday leave

ONE-in-five Irish workers do not take their full holiday entitlement.

Among those that do, 84% bring their laptop on holidays with them, and 25% either phone work to check on work matters while they are away or worry things have gone wrong while they are away.

This is according to a survey of Irish workers by RecruitIreland.com, which found that workers who fail to take their full holiday leave said they are either busy or because it’s “not the done thing in their company”.
