Each year, Australians work more than two billion hours of unpaid overtime, a new survey by The Australia Institute has found.
Around half of all employees work more hours than they are paid for and international comparisons show that Australians work the longest hours in the developed world.
In recognition of the extent of unpaid overtime and overwork in Australia, the Institute has announced national Go Home On Time Day which will take place on November 25.
People can register their intention to participate at www.gohomeontimeday.org.au or on Facebook.
