Research De Unie   

Over the past two years, many people have been unable to take their vacation days. Now that most of the corona restrictions are behind us, the working Netherlands is slightly more optimistic about their leave. That is one of the results of our recent holiday poll, in which more than 2.000 of our members took part. For us it is useful to know if you manage to get your days up. Because if not? Then we are happy to assist you, with advice and action.

It works more often

During the corona crisis, 47 percent of respondents were unable to take their vacation days. That had several causes. In some cases, travel abroad was difficult or impossible and employers did not agree to the application. Fortunately, people foresee fewer problems for this year: 38 percent do not expect to get up every day in 2022.

Good law

A large majority of 62 percent think that the holidays will start again. Half of them see it as their right. And one in three say they like to finish their days because they can finally go back to their favorite vacation destination.

Gamebreakers

However, vacation days used up are not given. Crowds and understaffing are the main barriers to vacation shooting. This seems to have made it easier to record every day before the corona crisis: 69 percent of the respondents succeeded.
