All work and no play as UK workers skip holidays

A
record number of workers have decided not to take their holiday this year –
instead dedicating more time to their job.

A
survey by financial recruitment firm Portfolio Payroll shows that workers in
the UK are becoming more dedicated to their work more than ever.

The
figures gathered from a nationwide survey reveal that 72 per cent of workers
have not booked time off work for a summer holiday this year and 78 per cent
have revealed that even when on holiday they look forward to returning to work.
