Staff working in serviced offices in Edinburgh may be among the eight out of ten people who said they would be logging on from home over Christmas.
A survey carried out by Demon Broadband found that a large percentage of individuals expect to carry out some work while they are on holiday, the Scotsman reports.
The research revealed that one in six predict they will at least check their emails on Christmas Day and people will log on an average of six times during annual leave.
Matt Cantwell, head of Demon, explained that working from home is increasingly popular as a result of better remote access.
"As a nation we're no longer restricted by set working hours and are often the most productive when working whenever and wherever suits us best," he commented.
Demon was founded in 1992 and the internet service provider was bought by THUS in May 1998.
