Women without children are most likely to do unpaid overtime, says a report by the Trades Union Congress (TUC). They are more likely to work extra hours than mothers, fathers and men without children. However, it is men with children who put in the highest number of unpaid hours - 8.3 hours per week on average. The TUC says five million workers in the UK do unpaid overtime, saving employers almost £25bn in 2007. The report indicates that 24.2% of women without children do unpaid overtime - the highest number of any other group. But this declines to 17% amongst women with children.
