【澳大利亚】澳大利亚工人通过无偿加班向雇主捐赠1300亿美元

Australian workers are donating an estimated $130 billion a year to their employers through unpaid overtime, according to a leading workplace thinktank.

Key points:

The average employee does 5.1 hours a week of unpaid work, up half an hour on 2016

The Centre for Future Work estimates employers are getting $130 billion a year in free labour

The centre's director Jim Stanford blames an increase in casual and other insecure work for the rise in unpaid overtime

The Australia Institute's Centre for Future Work released the research to coincide with its annual "Go Home On Time Day" where it encourages workers not to stay back late at their workplace.

The centre's survey found the average worker was doing 5.1 hours a week in unpaid work.

"That includes everything from going in early or staying late at work, to working through breaks, working through lunch, taking work home, answering emails in the middle of the night," the centre's director Jim Stanford told ABC News.

"All the different ways that work is trickling into our everyday lives adds up to quite a bit of time.

Dr Stanford said that was half an hour more than the findings from the centre's survey last year.

He believes that the increase in unpaid work reflects "the profound insecurity that most Australians feel about their jobs."

"People are staying late because they want to keep their employer happy, they want to show they've got a good work ethic, they're hoping that they'll be able to keep their jobs.

根据一家职场智库研究显示，澳大利亚工人每年通过无偿加班向雇主捐赠约1300亿美元。

关键点：

普通员工平均每周无偿加班5.1小时，相比于2016年多出半个小时的时间

未来工作中心估计，雇主每年会额外获得1300亿美元的免费劳动力

中心主任Jim Stanford指出，由于无偿加班的增加，其他的临时工作和不安全的工作也会随之增加

澳大利亚研究所未来工作中心在每年的"准时回家日"当天发布了这份报告，鼓励员工不要在工作场所呆到太晚。

该中心的调查发现，一般工人平均每周加班5.1小时，并且这段时间没有薪资提供。

该中心的主管Jim Stanford告诉美国广播公司新闻："这包括从早到或者晚退，通过休息时间，午餐时间，回家时间用在工作上，在并且在半夜回复电子邮件。"

"所有不同的方式，都开始占用我们的日常生活，全部加起来就相当于一段不短的加班时间。"

Stanford说，今年工人的平均加班时间比去年的调查结果要多了半小时。

他认为，无薪工作的增加反映了"澳大利亚人对工作深感不安"。

"人们加班，是因为他们想要让老板高兴，他们想表明他们有一个良好的职业道德，并且希望能够保住自己的工作。
