Lack of vacation continues, but Canadians still enjoy them despite the current economic conditions, reveals a survey Expedia.ca —– Today, Expedia.ca has announced the results of its seventh annual survey Deprivation Vacation conducted by Harris / Decima. They reveal that almost a quarter (24 percent) of Canadian workers do not benefit from all the vacation they deserve. Even if they are granted an average 18.7 days of vacation, Canadians give up this year to 2.03 days holiday on average the benefit of their employer. Across Canada, this represents 34 million unused vacation days and 6.03 billion Canadian dollars paid to employers in the form of wages. The good news is that Quebecers are more likely to enjoy all the holidays they are granted (61 percent) than the Canadian average (47 percent), since they give up only 1.39 days of vacation per year.
