How much time do employees spend on personal tasks?

Ironic that you should ask this question!  The organization for which I work just retained the services of a "Personal Assistant" agency for our senior staff members.  I have mixed feelings about it. Sure it will be nice to send someone out to pick up my dry cleaning and stuff like that, but what about when it comes to picking up a gift or card for my partner?  Will the agency be able to select something GREAT for him?

Being on call all the time is hard. Owning the business is also hard. You never get a vacation and when you do you worry about what is going on with your company.\nIf you work for someone when you leave the office you leave all the "work" stuff at the door and do not worry about it until the next day. When you own the company you have it all the time 24/7 and if it is a family business that means your are with your family 24/7 at work and home. It makes it hard to seterate out work stuff from home stuff.\nSometimes stuff at work spills over to stuff at home and vise versa. It is hard to keep things going.\nWe have worked out a balance we take some time off and let an employee answer the calls and we make time to do things we want to do. Nothing gets into our time and we stick to that rule. It has helped us.

As long as it takes to get the job done. In the U.S., young associates are expected to put in 80-100 hours weekly for 7 years if they expect to make partner.

I usualy spend about 8 Hours a day on my computer. If i have a whole day with nothing to do i will spend about 12 hours on it. When iv got atleast two weeks off college and am hooked into codeing a program I will sometimes sit here upto 48 hours (except for when I need to goto to the toilet & I always have enough food and drink in my room to keep me going). About once a month i will play a game for 24 hours in one sitting... I complete alot of games this way. Im surprised more people dont spend as much time on the computer.

Very good question, I ask all the time. Doesn't make sense. We have it all wrong.\n\nI work 8-5 M-F. Which means I'm at work 45 hours a week, and home 48 hours. three extra hours than work. I have two children and a loving fiance and family, does it really make sense to you?\nI say, we work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. 20 minute breaks.\n\nMandatory days off for family. atleast 3x a month. \n\nWhat is more important than my children and family? Obviously myself and my soul, and that takes time, something I am forced due to circumstance and life, to spend most of at work.

I am not in that kind of business but I was taught that it is best to start with \n\nGood morning/afternoon...simply because most people don't pay attention to the first words (busy doing something else).\nYou should state whom you are working for too...and the reason why you asking for information.\n\nI am working for......and I am presently doing a survey about...Reason/because is....bla bla... I would appreciate it very much if/ I would appreciate if you could answer my request/ I would be very grateful ..(be grateful..if you want people to help !)

Vacation time is not legally mandated.  It is up to the company to decide how much vacation time to allow employees to have.

The typical principal or project manager spends from 150 to 250 hours per year looking for lost files and reports (electronic and paper). Even in a small firm this is a substantial loss. This time usually cannot be billed. If the average billing rate of the professional staff and management is $80/hour, this amounts to from $12,000 to $20,000 per year wasted per professional. Another way to view it is - Assuming the typical professional works 2080 hours per year then you are loosing from 7 percent to 12 percent potential chargeability just looking for "stuff". This is also valuable time you could spend generating more business.\nhttp://www.kfdata.com/IMPROVING%20YOUR%20BOTTOM%20LINE%20WITH%20CORPORATE%20MEMORY%20MANAGEMENT.htm

How about doing something no employer has ever done before?  Look at the amount of work an employee does, the quality of their work, their attitude towards the job (do they do as little as possible?  Or volunteer when something special needs to be done?) whether they work or spend most of the day doing personal things, and whether they are usually late or on time, and reward those doing the best?

Well I'm self employed so my hours vary a great deal.  Sometimes I can get a lot done in five hours, and other jobs will take me five days.  The only way I can answer this is to say that when I goof off, the only one getting cheated is myself.
