Cybersecdn- In 2023, Georgia witnessed a staggering surge in unpaid overtime, marking a significant shift in work culture and employee compensation. According to a comprehensive study by Rebel’s Guide to Project Management, which surveyed 3,000 employees, Georgia’s workforce clocked an additional 1.7 billion hours in unpaid overtime compared to the previous year. This alarming figure underscores a national trend of increasing unpaid labor, with the total reaching 46 billion hours in 2023.
On an individual level, the average Georgian worker contributed an extra 256 hours annually without compensation, averaging about 4.9 hours weekly. This increase not only reflects the growing demands placed on employees but also highlights the evolving dynamics of the workplace, where personal time is increasingly encroached upon by professional commitments.
