Analysis of the 2019 Annual Population Survey (APS) estimates that, on average, workers in Scotland do more than seven hours of unpaid overtime per week, equating to an annual total of 118 million hours.
The APS showed there to be 310,000 employees working unpaid overtime in the week that the survey was conducted, with 110,000 of them in the public sector.
If each hour were paid at the average hourly rate of £14.07, this would mean that workers in Scotland have missed out on an additional £1.6 billion in wages.
