Scots working extra hours 'owed £4,517'
THE average Scottish employee who works unpaid overtime missed out in £4,517 worth of wages last year, according to new figures.
The STUC yesterday estimated the number of Scots who worked unpaid overtime increased by 20,000 to 436,000.
Each worked an average of six hours and 54 minutes a week.
The STUC and TUC calculate that if everyone in the UK did all their unpaid overtime at the start of the year, it would be 22 February before they started getting paid.
They have declared this date Work Your Proper Hours Day, calling on employers to co-operate.
