IV-5 HOURS OF WORK & OVERTIMENormal hours of work range from 35 to 45 hours per week depending on the time of year and workload demands. As professionals you will be expected to work outside normal business hours when the workload demands it.
At Grant Thornton we make every effort to ensure that the workload is spread evenly among all professional staff. Consequently, we have found that the total overtime required by each individual is much lower than other national firms. We do offer flex time and other forms compensation in recognition for additional hours worked.

Each office in the Alberta Business Unit has a social committee, made up of members from various levels in the office, who is responsible for organizing office sponsored activities.
All the offices in the business unit have a number of social events each year. These generally include a Christmas party, a UE results party, a "tax party", a ski trip and a golf tournament.
