Irish employees work an average of 88 minutes per day while on their holidays.

A new YouGov survey of citizens across Europe has found that 43 percent of people who work during their holidays are not compensated for it.

In the study of more than 10-thousand people, three-quarters of Irish people admitted to working during their holidays and free time – well surpassing the European average of 58 percent.

It also found that women give over 12 percent more time to work than men on their holidays, but are less likely to be compensated for it by employers.
