与美国不同，英国没有规范加班时间分配或补偿的国家法律。作者利用 1998 年英国新收入调查中男性非管理工人的个人数据，调查了标准小时工资、小时收入（包括加班）、加班费和加班时间之间的关系。他们发现，当考虑到加班费时，特定行业中各公司的平均小时工资收入相当一致，因为支付低于市场水平的直接工资的公司往往会奖励高于市场水平的加班费，相反，支付高于市场水平的直接工资的公司提供低于市场水平的加班费。
Unlike the United States, Britain has no national laws regulating overtime hour assignment or compensation. Using individual-level data on male non-managerial workers from the 1998 British New Earnings Survey, the authors investigate relationships among the standard hourly wage rate, hourly earnings (including overtime), the overtime premium, and the length of overtime hours. They find that when overtime is accounted for, average hourly wage earnings are fairly uniform across firms in a given industry, because firms paying below-market-level straight-time wages tend to award above-market-level overtime premiums, and, conversely, firms paying above-market-level straight-time wages provide below-market-level overtime premiums.
