What may result from working longer days or adding additional days of work on a prolonged basis?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Working longer days or adding additional days of work on a prolonged basis will result in increased injuries and safety problems. As workers become tired from longer periods of work, they begin to adjust their pace or slow their productivity to avoid fatigue. When forced to work overtime, an employee may become disgruntled, causing low morale among other employees. In the same respect, if overtime is offered to one employee and not another, jealousy may become a problem among employees.
