Abstract

In Österreich leisteten im Jahr 2012 knapp 170.000 Personen 68 Mio. unbezahlte Überstunden. Zwei Drittel davon wurden von Angestellten erbracht. Unbezahlte Überstunden werden vor allem von höherqualifizierten Beschäftigten geleistet. Für Unternehmen bedeuten unbezahlte Überstunden eine Steigerung der Arbeits- und Lohnflexibilität, für die unselbständig Beschäftigten aber Einbußen an Löhnen und Lohnersatzleistungen. Für die öffentliche Hand gehen damit Ausfälle an Sozialbeiträgen und Steuern einher.
