A new report by the Australia Institute's Centre for Future Work found the average employee worked 6.13 unpaid hours each week in 2021, or eight standard working weeks per year.
That's compared to 5.25 hours per week in 2020 and 4.62 hours during 2019.
The institute's report, released to coincide with Go Home on Time Day, found $125 billion was lost in income from Australian workers during the past year alone.
Centre for Future Work economist Dan Nahum said the pandemic and related lockdowns were making the situation for unpaid work worse.
