British Employees Working Millions of Unpaid Overtime Hours

A recent study conducted by ProTime revealed that British employees are working an alarming average of five and a half hours of unpaid overtime per month, amounting to a staggering 153 million cumulative hours of unpaid work each month. This excessive workload stems from various factors, including incomplete to-do lists, unrealistic workloads, and a culture of overwork in some workplaces. The consequences of this unpaid overtime are detrimental, with employees reporting increased stress, anxiety, burnout, and a negative impact on their work-life balance. Despite these negative effects, 69% of workers are generally satisfied with their work-life balance.
