Do you spend extra hours in your job without pay?

hello Martin Nice to see you my dear amigo. Where have you been?

Well I like doing it most of the time. I work with my dad and well since its his business,I cannot charge him for the help that he gets from me. Even if we are working. I just wait to see if he will give something for helping him or not. He buys me my stuff, and doesn't expects me to pay for rent or anything. The least I can do is to go help him. Although, I do need to start to manage my own money but I heard that its never okay to work with your family (parents). Help them, yea but working for them its not a good idea. I wonder why though.

I always did the same, working beyond minimum working hours without additional pay just not to have back log on work and finish assigned task. Actually it id very usual here in our office but the company doesn't pay the exceeded hours we rendered but nobody was complaining. I think most of people here love there job and money would always be the second thing.

Before, when i was still single, working overtime without pay is not an issue for me. I love my work and I enjoy doing it with my co-workers who are also nice and who valued work more than ever. My regular salary was just exactly enough to sustain my needs, no more- no less. I stayed in the office longer than eight hours, I even reported for work during weekends, that's okay with me. My reason is that, its beter to stay in the office and be productive than staying in my rented apartment doing nothing, just watching tv, sleeping and etc. But now, when I got married and have a child, that practices would be impossible now. I already have someone to feed aside from myself, there will gonna be many bills to pay and many more. Am doing extra job for extra income now. And time is so precious. I need to have more time with my 11 month old baby, we only have few times together since am always at work. Now I could really say that 24 hours a day is not enough to do all the things that I wanted.

I sometimes spend extra hours in my job because I pursuit perfection .

yes, sometimes i spend extra hours in my job without pay just to finish my tasks assigned to me. You know what, when you are so much concerned with your job and not to mention your company, you are willing to do so.

I am self employed and work online from home, and this means that I don't do work for no pay because I get paid for everything that I choose to do during the course of my day while I'm working at home. However, when I was in my last job, I found that I had to put more hours in than I should have been able to because they didn't have enough staff so the ones that they did have had to work for at least an extra hour at the end of the day when they should have been going home. That is one of the main reasons that I made the decision to leave the post in the end.

Loving our work is one of the great ingredients towards satisfaction. It's nice that you love work...well, working beyond 8 hours without pay usually happens here. especially when there are things that needs to get done.

I am on disability now and no longer work. When I did, my last job was salary and I didn't get any extra for overtime. I still stayed longer than I had to. One reason was because I liked the job, and I felt if I stayed a little longer at night, that was less I had to do the next day. Also, I don't have a family, so there was nothing to rush home to except my cats.

When I was working, I really did not care about being well-compensated or not that much but I had learned loving it so well that I really tried working even overtime without pay. Anyway, there is much more that I was getting then than my earning or salary - the social status that the work had brought me was greatly considered and of course, the training for more enhancement of my skills and knowledge that I had acquired through my work are always a credit to me. Just keep on loving your work and perform with excellence and someday, God will provide you the greener pasture within or out of the company you are presently connected with.

yes..i dont mind doing the extra job without some extra pay..either because i need to get the job done that very day or because im just not in a hurry to get somewhere..either way..its still for a good cause..the boss will like it too.

i never spend any extra time at my job without pay at least not when i am working sometimes i go there to shop for yard and home improvement things that i need but other than that no i do not dont get me wrong i like where i work too but i have other things i have to do in a day so i do not have time to work all the time especially when i am not getting paid for it i need the money way too bad thats why i also have to work on here everyday trying to make ends meet

After getting promoted last year in Feb, I used to work 3-4 hours extra everyday without pay and with only 45 mins break...but this year in Jan during the appraisal I was told that don't do much for the team and I should dedicate more time to work. That was it!!! I resigned the next day and now though I earn merely 20% of what I used to earn in office, I am happy and satisfied.

i did it 6 months ago... just because my friend get fired then i have to replace in her job..and finishing some abandonned work... but now im quit...because to much i have to do...but i get not commensurate paid...and now i feel relieved...

i find my job okay, i think i have worked extra hours, minimum of an hour too but i do not always get paid for it. sometimes you just have to extend once in a while and that would not be a harm i think especially if you want to get things done and not be too tight fisted wanting to charge everything to the company. sometimes there are free times at work too, right?!

Hi mob, Usually I don’t want to sit extra hours in my office but when in need I just don’t care to spend some extra time to finish some urgent work. Earlier I used to sit in extra hours but I never asked any extra payment. I think I got compensation on other methods, I mean when I wish to leave early or when I come late in office nobody question me. Moreover, I always do my work with 100 % sincerity and everybody knows my dedication on work.

hi, actually its not hours,its only 30 minutes of extension,because i need to go home as early as i can because my job is far to my house and the travel time is 1 to 2 hours,sometimes if we finish so earlier i will extend more on one hour.

I did that for years, just because they said there was no money to pay an other employee (which wasn't true). I liked my job, was a work aholic and I wanted to get all the work (way too much) finished (a never ending task). They just used me.. at a certain time they did pay someone else, who got payed way more as me for doing nearly anything. I will never do that again. It's proved: nobody likes hard workers. They just like those and will pay the ones who do as if they are working/who are bluffing more. If you are not like that, if you don't have a big mouth you can work till you die and nobody cares. In the end they will say it was your own free will. I found out work is not satisfying, other things are. So I will never work or walk that fast anymore or be the first one to volunteer.
