Teleworking has been adopted by many companies since the health crisis.
If it makes it possible to avoid the galleys in transport, it can also lead to doing more without compensation.
Nearly two-thirds of French employees thus declare that they telework partly “for free” according to the “People at Work 2022” study by ADP, a specialist in HR solutions, relayed by BFMTV.
French employees work an average of six unpaid overtime hours per week, according to this study.
Women (63%) are as affected as men (64%).
The youngest (18-24 years) are 73% to give unpaid overtime, against 57% for employees aged 45 to 54 years.
In detail, 18/24 year olds spend 7.8 hours in "free" teleworking, compared to 6.5 hours for 25/34 year olds and 5 hours for 45/54 year olds.
“Answer always present”
The sector most affected by these unpaid hours would be the tertiary sector.
80% of media and information employees consider that they give free teleworking time, evaluated on average at 9 hours per week.
In real estate and telecoms, 75% of employees give 7 to 8 hours of unpaid overtime.
In finance, it's 73% for 7 hours on average.
Leisure and reception, 70% of employees work an average of 6 hours each week, unpaid.
"These figures show that remote workers are working overtime every day without additional pay, whether it's starting earlier or logging off later, taking short breaks, making themselves available after hours normal working hours, and therefore to respond always present", sum up the authors of the study.
