'1,962 of EU's most senior civil servants have been allowed to join a "flexitime" scheme, originally meant for lower paid secretarial staff, that gives an extra 24 days off work every year for those that put in an extra 45 minutes a day in the office.The Telegraph has more details.
The perk comes on top of annual holidays of 24 days as well as seven days off for public holidays, and in 2010, 11 "non-working" days out of the office when the Brussels institutions are closed in summer and at Christmas.
The allowances mean that last year many EU staff were entitle to 66 days or 13 weeks or a quarter of the year off work. '

Joke isn't it. "An extra 45 minutes a day" - most of us with real jobs in the real world don't clock in and out exactly as per contract of employment but rack up extra hours as needed and required - I've no problem at all with this. Of course our EU Masters resent every moment of their working day (as if they do full days) and require to be compensated by the minute and the penny. Witness Baron Ashface.
Those of us who are self-employed don't even keep a record of the hours and days !
If we have a holiday, we don't get paid.
Not that I am complaining. It's worth it to be my own
boss !
