Research conducted by online recruitment specialist www.theitjobboard.co.uk revealed that of 500 IT workers surveyed for a report on working hours, nearly half said their hours had increased in the last two years. 42.5 percent cited the increase in the volume of work as the main reason for their working overtime, but 6.8 percent said the economic uncertainty made them feel the need to put in extra hours. Only 10 percent of those that worked overtime were actually paid for it.
Of those surveyed, over a quarter (27 percent) worked between 48-60 hours a week, with five percent working between 60-75 uvbeq.
