Harmonised application of Flexitime rules: follow-up

No comments
On the occasion of the entry into force of the new Commission decision on working time, we wrote a message to theDirector of JRC Human Resources in order to make him aware of the incoherent application of flexitime rules at JRC Ispra.
Our request aimed at obtaining a clear definition of what the new rules permit and what they exclude, so as to avoid misinterpretation and misunderstanding from both staff and the hierarchy. In particular, we gave the example of AST9/AD9 or higher grade officials wishing to take a full day of leave (composed of a half-day of normal holidays plus a half-day of flexitime recuperation), who apparently can do so - or not - depending on the Unit they are working for.
From the answer we received, we can confirm that a half-day of recuperation can in fact be combined with a half-day of holidays, taking into account service needs.
We also obtained the undertaking that the issue will be discussed during the next Directoire, in order to harmonise the application of rules across the whole JRC.

Don't hesitate to contact us in case you feel that the rules are not correctly applied in your case.
