grammar check

excessive work = too much work

That will sound like a complaint.

excess would be better.

Hi,

'Due to excess work load, I frequently worked beyond my contracted hours'

Should it be 'excess' or 'excessive'? The sentence doesn't sound- or look- right. Please help!!

Excessive. 'Due to an excessive work load, . . . '

This sounds like you are compla

'Due to an excessive work load, I frequently worked beyond my contracted hours; remaining in the office past 7 pm on many occasions. '

My contracted hours are 9-5.

Yeah, I intend to complain, Clive. Does the above sound any better/grammatically correct?

Hope someone can help fix the above sentence.

Neil

Because of my excessive work load, I frequently worked beyond my contracted hours (9-5), remaining in the office past 7 pm on many occasions.

Thank you for your quick answer.

Can sentences be started with 'because'?

Yes, and with less controversy than 'due to'.
