On average, it was 2.9 working hours more per week, as the compensation specialists from Salary.de determined for their current working time monitor. More than 340,000 data records were evaluated for the analysis.
If the overtime is extrapolated over a professional life, employees in Germany accumulate around 6,500 overtime hours, according to the study authors, which corresponds to three and a half years. Most of the overtime is unpaid. The analysis shows that only a third of employees are entitled to overtime compensation.
