• 7th of October – Day for Decent Work?
  Unpaid overtime and mental stress rule around the globe
  On average 4 out of 10 employees work more hours than agreed in their contracts. On top, half of those working overtime are not compensated at all for the extra hours put in. Next , employees from around the globe in equal measure report their work to be physically exhausting and mentally even more so. This is the major outcome of an international study based on WageIndicator data. It compares Decent Work standards as perceived by almost 350,000 employees in 11 countries ranging from Europe, to Latin America and Africa. The findings are presented at the occasion of October 7th, World Day for Decent Work.

WageIndicator aims to share and compare wage information. We want to contribute to a transparent labor market. We provide free, accurate wage data through Salary Checks on national WageIndicator websites. We collect wage data through web surveys. 

Everyone who completes the Salary Survey can win 2 prizes. The first is a trip to South Africa. The second is a minimum wage. In most of the European countries a minimum weekly wage is offered. In all other countries a minimum monthly wage.
