Non-productive overtime (NPO) is time that employees or workers spend in the workplace over and above their contracted hours but which is not being spent on productive activities. If this is not managed effectively and monitored carefully it can have negative and costly implications for a business or project.

An example could be using the internet or deliberately not working, or working at a slow pace, when doing overtime.

However, there can be circumstances when non-productive overtime cannot be avoided. For example, if construction works are being accelerated to try and meet a deadline but inclement weather causes concreters, or those working at height, for instance, to curtail work activities until they are able to work safely. If their work performance would put them at risk or would be impaired then it can be considered reasonable to stop work or work at a slower pace.

Payments for non-productive overtime will be incurred in accordance with the relevant working rule agreement (WRA), or the acceptable terms and conditions for employers and workers.
