How much is your unpaid overtime worth?


Do you sometimes leave work a bit late after a long conference call? Or maybe arrive a bit earlier in the morning to check your emails?


Most of UK professionals do, and it's not an issue when they are compensated for it with extra money or holidays. But a study by Totallymoney.com found that only 30% of them actually get paid for working extra hours, meaning that 70% of workers are actually working for free a couple of minutes/hours per week.


Even though 15 minutes here and there do not seem like a major financial sacrifice, when adding up, it can cost quite a bit of money : because of unpaid extra-hours, the average UK professional basically works for free 9 weeks each year!
