Unpaid overtime on the up

The amount of unpaid overtime being done by Irish workers is on the increase.

A survey by Peninsula Ireland has revealed that 67% of workers say they occasionally spend time working evenings and weekends without pay to cope with their workload.

It's also shown that many employees are using mobile phones to keep up to date with work while they are technically off.

43% of these workers feel their hard efforts are not being acknowledged by their boss.
