Homeworkers can t stop overworking Published:
20 Apr 2021 Coronavirus has meant homeworkers are continuously working extra hours, new data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has found.
Towards the start of the pandemic in April 2020, people who worked from home in the UK worked longer hours but finished their working day before 5pm.
The switch to homeworking meant employees started work earlier in the morning due to no longer needing to commute but were still finishing at a similar time to their office hours.
Yet by September, there was a shift in the working day as a greater proportion of homeworkers worked later in the morning and the evening.
City A.M. spoke to a number of business owners around London and across the UK.
Roadmap and vaccines: ‘Ready to party again’
Despite a drop in consumer-facing industries driving a contraction of 3.5 per cent in the services sector throughout January, Mark Green, who runs tailored DJ service DJ Mark Green, looks at the future with renewed confidence.
“Since the recent roadmap announcement, wedding enquiries and bookings have gone through the roof,” shared an ecstatic Green with
City A.M. “Client confidence has returned with a bang and there’s now a frantic race on to secure future dates.
“If the key lockdown easing dates are achieved in April, May and June, the future is looking far brighter for my business and the wedding and broader events industry,” he added.
Muriel Coombes aged 90, with her card at Roseleigh care home RESIDENTS in a North-East care home have been sent hugs from youngsters at a local childminding service to tide them over until they can get the real thing from their loved ones. On March 8, residents at Roseleigh care home in Middlesbrough will be able to receive one visitor and hold hands with them, as part of the Government’s cautious easing of the Covid-19 lockdown. Hugging loved ones is not yet permitted so working with Little Tinks, a childminding service in Acklam, Roseleigh have come up with the next best thing – homemade cards with hugs on them.
