February 27th 2004 is Work Your Proper Hours Day

If you’re like me, you often find yourself putting in a bit of unpaid overtime, just out of committment to your job. That’s not a bad thing but this day is a great opportunity to just take a little time out for yourself, and think about your work patterns.

Stress and work burnout are terms that we hear about increasingly, as people on salaries (not paid overtime) notch up the hours again and again. I for one don’t want to go of a heart attack at 40, and I think more people would be well advised to know their rights and fall back on them when they need to.
