Recession and job insecurity make employees cancel holidays

As millions of UK employees settle back into work following the Easter weekend, research of 1,000 jobseekers from TipTopJob.com shows 48% think staff who take holidays while redundancies are being made are more likely to lose their job.

And, given the rising redundancies, 53% of the respondents who said they would be taking a holiday this year would be more likely to contact the office while they were away - just to be on the safe side.
