Managing overtime is a critical challenge for UK businesses, balancing the need to meet deadlines with compliance to legal standards, controlling costs, and ensuring employee well-being.

Overcoming the Challenges of Overtime:

  • Accurate Tracking: Ensuring precise tracking and recording to avoid disputes and errors.
  • Employee Health: Mitigating burnout and health issues due to excessive work hours.
  • Legal Compliance: Navigating the UK's Working Time Regulations.
  • Cost Control: Preventing uncontrolled overtime from increasing labor costs.

     

Research by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in 2019 highlights the unintended consequences of excessive overtime. Their findings show that working too many hours increases stress levels by 55% and significantly impacts health, leading to a 20% drop in productivity. Managing overtime effectively is essential to balance operational requirements with employee health and well-being.
