 Home News General
November 24 is Go Home On Time Day11 November 2010The typical full-time employee in Australia works 70 minutes of unpaid overtime a day. This equates to 33 eight-hour days per year, or six and a half standard working weeks. Put another way, Australian workers are ‘donating’ more than their annual leave entitlement back to their employers in the form of unpaid overtime.
Across the workforce, the 2.14 billion hours of unpaid overtime worked per year is a $72 billion 'gift' to employers. Overwork can have negative consequences for your physical and mental health, your relationships with loved ones and your sense of what is important in life. What is it?The Australia Institute declared national Go Home On Time Day in November 2009. It was a great success, with more than 200,000 people participating.
