Unpaid overtime isn’t just a time issue—it’s a health and safety risk. When long hours become the norm, stress and burnout follow. Employers have a duty to prevent harm, not just to take advantage of employee goodwill.

It was fantastic to see such great support for #gohomeontime day.. Well done to everyone who finished work on time and made the most of the longest day. Especially to those who normally work beyond their contracted hours. Make finishing on time the norm, not the exception.
How many days last week did you work late? It was #GoHomeOnTime Day on Friday, which got us thinking about how many of us work too much overtime. Of course it’s going to happen now and then, but is it becoming a regular thing for you? #WorkLifeBalance
“National go home on time day”
Burnout is now a recognised medical condition and according to a recent study of 2,000 UK employees, 1/4 people feel that overworking prevents them from improving their mental wellbeing. #ukemplaw#MentalHealth#gohomeontimeindependent.co.uk/life-style…
Today @LarkingGowen encouraged support for Go Home On Time day with @workingfamUK. I left the office on time and was so pleased to see the place was deserted and our partners and managers were leading by example on #GoHomeOnTime day. #WorkLifeBalance#Wellbeing
My 8 yr old just pointed out today’s not the ‘longest day of the year’ as all days are equal in terms of time. She would like to correct it to the ‘day with the longest daylight’. Not as catchy but I’m sure we can work on it! @workingfamUK#GoHomeOnTime#longestdayoftheyear
#GoHomeonTimeDay - So mark it off in your calendar as a day to finish work on time, do something you enjoy and think about changes you might want to make to your own work life balance #gohomeontime
We're going home! Off to make the most of the longest day of the year... 🌞😎
We put work life balance at the forefront and remind colleagues that going home on time should be the norm, not the exception.
Great to support @workingfamUK's #gohomeontime campaign.
