A third of office workers now regularly work from home on a weekend in a bid to catch up with their heavy workload, it has been found, after researchers said millions of people are forced to check emails, answer calls or even start or finish projects on Saturday and Sundays in preparation for Monday morning.
One in ten admit they constantly have to check work emails over the weekend and it also emerged that the average weekend worker now devotes nearly four hours of their weekend to work issues.
A quarter of those surveyed said they often miss out on treasured time with their families due to work commitments, but over said if they didn't work over the weekend they would be completely snowed under during the week.
Yet, despite putting in the hours at home, only 17% get paid for slogging away at home in their own time.
