Unpaid overtime remains pervasive in many sectors 

The culture of working overtime differs from country to country in the EU.

Workers doing unpaid overtime remains "pervasive" in the European Union because of pressure put on employees, with the likes of healthcare, construction, education, transport and social workers, particularly vulnerable.

That is according to a report from the Dublin-based EU agency European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, or Eurofound, which found that men, workers aged 25–55, and workers with higher levels of education are more likely to report working overtime.
