Today is Work Your Proper Hours day - show us how you are observing itToday is Work Your Proper Hours Day, which is organised by the Trades Union Congress.

According to the TUC, more than five million people at work in the UK regularly do unpaid overtime, giving their employers £23 billion of free work every year.

So, no excuses today. Try and take a lunch break, a coffee break and a tea break and leave on time. And show us how you get on. Send us pictures of you observing Work Your Proper Hours Day - especially if you're spending your break immersed in a copy of the Weekly - and we'll put them on our Flickr galleries.

And if you do work well beyond your contracted hours, the TUC has provided an overtime calculator so you can find out exactly how much your overtime is worth.

Update: Never let it be said that the Weekly is all talk. Here's the team asserting its right to a tea break on Work Your Proper Hours day...
