65 000 man-years as overtime

21 per cent of the full-time employees worked overtime in the second quarter 2002, 24 per cent among males and 17 per cent among females. The amount of overtime equaled about 65 000 man-years, or 4.6 per cent of all man-years by employees working full-time.

The proportion of people working over-time was highest in oil and gas extraction and in financial intermediation with more than 30 per cent, and lowest in education, health and social work with 13 per cent.

Overtime is defined as working hours which exceed the settled or contractual working hours for full-time employees, conducted during a specified survey week. 59 per cent of the overtime was compensated by payment, 21 per cent by time off, while 20 per cent were reported to be done without any kind of compensation.

The use of overtime increases by educational level. Among full-time employees with a university or college education, 26 per cent worked overtime, against 18 per cent of employees with less education.
