Cost of the holiday hangover
13 April 2012
Businesses have to cough up £315million in sick pay to staff who wear themselves out on holiday.
Ten per cent take time off to get over too much partying, drinking and lack of sleep, a poll found.
Almost as many took a 'sickie' as were genuinely ill and 13 per cent overslept on their first day back to work.
Psychologist David Lewis said: 'People are holidaying so hard they come back to work worn out. This can cause more stress for those returning to a backlog of work.'
