Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Forstag : I'm now inclined to think you are right, although it was confusing, since the text in question did not include "excessive" and washing up is something that everyone has to do.

compensaciones

como de lo que habla es de las horas que no se trabajan por cualquier causa, podrían ser compensaciones (p. ej., trabajaste un domingo y te tomas el lunes, etc.); no creo que se trate de la higiene personal ni de las funciones fisiológicas: si ocuparan horas como para incluirlas en un estudio de tiempo de trabajo creo que las habrían incluido en licencias por enfermedad

no productivo / no eficiente

I´ve seen the term as an adjective (washed-up) as a person that is innefective and no longer succesfull (in their duties in this case).

I hope this helps.
