"Increasingly diversified and flexible working time arrangements contribute to a redefinition of the boundary between standard and non-standard working hours, as well as entailing a renegotiation of the norms applicable to the remuneration expected in return for work at atypical times. This article investigates some of the other costs to employees of working time adjustments, with its focus on work intensification. The analysis uses European Working Conditions Survey (2005 and 2010) results from twenty-two EU countries. Overall, findings point to a divergence in work intensity along the lines of diverse working time patterns."
