If you're still working, are you taking any annual leave?

Quite a few people have said to me that they're not bothering to take annual leave at the moment, because they can't do anything anyway.

I'm off all over Easter, dh also has a week booked off, a lot of Dhs colleagues have been cancelling their annual leave.

Just interested if the general consensus is that it's pointless using holiday right now.

I've been wfh with two dc so I'm quite looking forward to us both having a week off even if just to potter around and have some adult company.

No. I'm working from home but as my job is mostly event driven I don't have a lot to do. Taking leave would be a total waste. Luckily there are no rules about having to take a percentage of it by a certain time so, if things get a bit more back to normal over the summer I'll take some leave then. If not, I'll hang on and probably roll a lot over and take most of Summer 2021 off.

I work term time only (self employed so o can take whatever holidays I want) but I ll be working over Easter as we ve lost £1500 a month from DH wages as he’s been laid off as not entitled to furlough. There’s nothing to do anyway so I might as well work to keep us afloat!

I've taken the second week of the Easter holidays off - will be nice to not have to get up to work and potter round the house. And talk to the children :)
