INDUSTRY STANDARDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the ninth posting regarding labor<\/strong>\/labour productivity<\/strong> and disruption.<\/strong> This contribution provides industry sources and references on the impact of overtime on labor productivity<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Subject Series<\/a><\/strong> can be viewed here.<\/p>\n

Understanding the impact on labor\/labour productivity<\/strong> and cost due to overtime is an essential skill related to both planning and forensic analyses.\u00a0 Remember, the impact on productivity<\/strong> applies to all hours worked, not just the hours associated with premium time costs.\u00a0 Hence, often the productivity impact is more costly than the premium time compensation component of the payroll costs.<\/p>\n

The impact of overtime on labor\/labour productivity<\/strong> is not limited to construction field labor.\u00a0 It presents in engineering, programming, consulting and other professional man-hours.<\/p>\n

For this post, we will use United States definitions and standards as a baseline.\u00a0 Many of the authoritative studies and analyses are done relative to US practices, if not US Gulf Coast (a common estimating standard or baseline).<\/p>\n

However, these standards are relevant to the world open market.<\/p>\n
