According to research conducted by Idea Bank, 40 percent of entrepreneurs take leave only once a year, whereas 27 percent of them do not use their leave entitlement at all. Every fifth entrepreneur goes on holiday twice a year and every tenth even three times. This includes larger company owners.
As far as small firms are concerned, on average owners take only six days off per year. In comparison a hired worker has 26 leave days guaranteed and does not hesitate to use them to the full. Almost one third of entrepreneurs who have the chance to go on holiday declare that they participate in business activities during this time via phone and e-mail.
