Harmonised application of Flexitime rules
We'll keep you informed on the issue. Stay tuned!
________________
Dear Mr Michel,
Following the broadcast message sent to all staff about the entry into force of the new Commission Decision on Working time, we take the opportunity to bring to your attention a non-harmonised application of the rule on Flexitime and recuperation at Ispra.
In particular it seems that some Unit Heads, contrary to any formal or legal hindrance deriving from our new Staff Regulations or GIPs, are refusing that Flexitime recuperation may be joined (immediately before or after) to normal holidays.
It means that, for instance, an AST9/AD9 or higher grade official willing to take a full day off (half day normal holidays plus half day Flexitime recuperation), can do so - or not - depending on the Unit he is working for.
While we recognise that Flexitime recuperation is allowed only when not affecting service needs, we cannot accept that such possibility is denied by putting forward fake arguments of incompatibility within the current framework of rules.
Therefore we kindly invite you to send a clear message to our middle management, asking for a consistent and harmonised application of rules across the whole JRC as indicated by Art. 7.3 of the Commission Decision (C(2014)2502):
Upon an individual request for recuperation from a staff member, the hierarchical
superior, having due regard to the basic principles as laid down in Article 3, may
approve it if:
- excess hours are justified by the staff member's work; and
- the interest of the service is upheld.

Real examples explaining what can be or cannot be done would be really welcome by JRC staff and will leave little space to misinterpretation.
Kind regards,

R&D CONFERENCE: Global burnout
Burn-out is a tragedy of the modern world : an internal collapse that consumes the individual leaving only ashes. An unexpected effect of technological frenzy and the intoxication of productivity in all its forms, it affects the most suitable, most integrated, the most conscientious intellectual workers.
With his book Global Burn-Out, the philosopher Pascal Chabot offers a clear and thorough analysis of what he sees as the new evil of the century. The successor of melancholy and neurasthenia, burn-out could represent the breakdown of a person facing an era that imposes a model which is alien to his deep humanity. “Professional exhaustion” to use medical terminology, is much more than a burn-out or loss of motivation: it burns of the soul of those who commit themselves without thinking to the logic of a socio-economic system which methodical-ly grinds them down.
This trap is not however, inevitable. Pascal Chabot, apart from analysing it, offers interesting possibilities for change which are up to both the individual and the company / or society as a whole to draw out and build.
Please watch our webstreaming of the conference and the handout of the event.
