New York: Many employees in the U.S. revealed that financial constraints and heavy workloads will make it impossible for them to take a vacation this year and even people who are going away are bringing work with them, says a new survey. In the current economic scenario, financial constraints seems to be the major reason as 24 percent of employees surveyed say they can't afford to go on vacation in 2011, up from 21 percent last year, according to a survey from CareerBuilder. The survey also found that another 12 percent said they actually can afford a vacation, but they don't have plans to take one this year. "Taking advantage of vacation or paid-time-off benefits is critical not only to your (employees) well-being, but to your overall job performance," CareerBuilder Vice-President (Human Resources) Rosemary Haefner said.
