Business English: overtime. Is working overtime seen as a norm in your culture or in your generation? These are just some of the things that Annie and Clare discuss in the podcast episode: same ole generation clash.
OVERTIME
- The extra time someone works outside of their work timetable.
- If your schedule says that you work 8 hours but you work 10, you have 2 hours of overtime.
- It is quite common for construction workers in the US to get paid overtime if they work on the weekends or evenings.
- On the other hand, many office jobs work unpaid overtime and it is considered to be included in your salary.
