Part Time Job And Holiday Job News

Sleepy students looking for part-time jobs may be reassured to learn that 63 per cent of employees have at some stage either fallen asleep or felt sleepy while at work, according to a new report.

Research from the employment law firm Peninsula also revealed that 73 per cent of workers in the UK would take a nap at work if their boss allowed it.

Deb Gibbons, head of diversity at Peninsula, said: "Hiding behind your computer monitor and nodding off out of sight from the boss is more common than you think. Office-based employees have even been known to nip to the bathroom to get a sneaky five minute kip."

She added that power naps are a good way to relieve tiredness in the short-term and for workers who are tied to a desk all day, they are going to start asking "where the harm is in a quick cat nap".

Ms Gibbons concluded that one incentive which companies could consider is to offers workers a short snooze break, which could "increase productivity and possibly prevent an accident in the work place".

Peninsula has been established since 1983 and offers employment law expertise to thousands of companies in the UK and Ireland. It offers employment law, personnel, tax and health and safety services.
