Unpaid OT

Whether emailing before they get up, working into their lunch break or taking calls after 22:00, more than half of workers admit they simply cannot escape work, a study has found, which said that nearly half of Brits worry about work in their spare time. 

Two thirds work at times when they feel they shouldn’t have to and it was found that the average Brit spends 1 hour 13 minutes working outside of their contracted hours every single day.

A quarter of Brits go above and beyond because they are plagued with fears of redundancy, while 36% constantly have an eye on targets they know they have to reach.  60% also talk about work regularly when at home while one in three has worked on a weekend despite not being required to.

Or maybe they are simply making up for lost time when not working in the office?
