“Incisive Media, the publisher of Computing and Accountancy Age, has just asked its 2000 staff to take a week’s unpaid leave. That came within days of a similar initiative by Euromoney, owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust. Euro-money, publisher of about 100 titles mostly in the finance sector, announced that staff earning more than £25,000 would be required to take seven days’ unpaid leave over the 2009 Christmas period, during which the company intends to close its offices.”
