In recognition of the more than 2 billion hours of unpaid overtime that Australians work each year, The Australia Institute has declared November 25 to be national Go Home On Time Day.
It’s intended to be a guilt-free way of raising awareness of the nature and extent of unpaid overtime in Australia and the important economic, health and social consequences it often has.
We have launched a Go Home On Time Day website www.gohomeontimeday.org.au, which allows people to register their intention to participate. In the weeks leading up to GHOTD we will be releasing the results of our national poll and research into the economic impacts of overwork.
With your support, we can make national Go Home On Time Day a huge success.
If you decide to support GHOTD, you can do so by simply registering on the website www.gohomeontimeday.org.au, inviting your colleagues via the website or just forwarding this email on to those who might need to take a break.
You can also become a fan of Go Home On Time Day on Facebook.
